Becoming a Demon King from Inuyasha

My thoughts, which had just settled down, were in turmoil again, and my heartbeat was speeding up crazily.

At this moment, she inexplicably felt a sense of guilt for having done something extremely bad.

dong dong...

Listening to the crazy beating heartbeat, Kikyo stood there in a daze unconsciously, unable to recover for a long time.

Noticing that Kikyo was staring blankly at the mountains and forests in the distance with a very complicated expression on her face, Kagome looked at Yemen calmly.

Naturally, the two of them also sensed Inuyasha's demonic aura. After all, just from the runaway demonic aura one could tell Inuyasha's mood changes.

After all, he is my ex-boyfriend. It is impossible to say that I don't care at all.

However, since Kikyo and I are now in an inseparable relationship and we share physical sensations unilaterally, I naturally cannot let her go back to her ex-boyfriend.

Moreover, from Kagome's own point of view, Inuyasha was not a good match.

Although they had only met a few times, Kagome could generally tell that Inuyasha had a personality similar to that of the male protagonist in a hot-blooded manga.

And such a person is really not suitable to be a lover.

At the very least, it is not suitable for Kikyo's personality.

In order to avoid a bad atmosphere and to allow Kikyo to temporarily forget about Inuyasha, Kagome tried to change the subject:

"Come to think of it, whether it's now or five hundred years from now, it's already mid-July, and summer vacation is almost here."

"Yeah, but summer vacation doesn't seem to have anything to do with us?" Ye Men groaned, "It always feels like almost every day is a vacation."

"That's not the case. When summer vacation comes, at least I'll be more relaxed and won't feel guilty about skipping classes."

Kagome paused, then continued:

"In another half a month, we should be able to reach Kyoto, right? By then, it will be summer vacation, why don't we go to modern times and have some fun together?"

"Kikyo has only seen modern times in my memory, and has never been there in person. There are many interesting places there."

Seeing Kikyo still in a daze, Ye Men took the initiative to speak:

"Compared to traveling to the modern era, I actually want to travel to other eras or parallel worlds."

"I have generally read the magic materials for all regions east of Mino, and there is no method that can solve Kikyo's current condition and truly revive her."

“Therefore, it is necessary to explore more places.”

"Can I travel through time to other eras?" Kagome thought thoughtfully, "No wonder Kirinmaru has seen me in different eras. It seems that I didn't really live for a thousand years, but traveled through time and space to a thousand years later."

"No, he should be seeing you. After all, immortality is not a difficult thing. The Gomonin family has a magic called Taishan Fujun Festival. The second generation head of the family lived for a thousand years but still looked young."

"Ah... So, Ye Men is now the first ancestor of the Gomonin family. All the magic information in the family can be obtained by you just by asking."

"That's it."

"No wonder the Yin-Yang master of the Hanakaiin family didn't hesitate at all when talking about the engagement with Yuura. In addition to being able to lift the curse, the Taishan Palace Festival should also be an important reason."

"Hanakaiin and Gomonin are two famous Onmyoji sects. Even they don't have a real way to revive Kikyo, so we can only look for it somewhere else. Anyway, be mentally prepared to leave."

"Is the Taishan Palace Lord Festival not possible?"

"A lot worse. Kang"

"How long will you be gone? Will you still come back to modern times once every ten days or half a month like now?"

"No, I might be gone for a long time this time, maybe as short as a summer vacation, or as long as half a year to a year. During this period, I probably won't be able to come back."

"Eh...? Are you going to be gone that long?"

"In fact, I established a certain connection with the Tree of Ages by offering sacrifices to it before, and gained a special ability that allows me to travel to other worlds at random."

"The so-called other world, isn't it like the infinite novels you mentioned before, the world of anime and movies?"

"…You still remember something that happened so long ago?"

Ye Men looked surprised, but soon heaved a sigh of relief, as this saved him the trouble of explaining.

Looking back on the past, Ye Men felt a little sad.

I didn’t think too much about it before, I just thought that the modern era was a magic-free world without any supernatural phenomena.

Even whether it is possible to travel back five hundred years through the Bone-Eating Well is a very uncertain thing.

Therefore, except for his own memories of his past life and the plot of "Inuyasha", he has told Kagome almost everything.

At that time, I thought that if I really couldn't go back five hundred years, I would just inherit the shrine and marry Kagome when I grow up. I would have two more children and they would inherit the two shrines respectively.

"My memory is pretty good. I remember almost everything Yemen said." Kagome smiled and asked again, "If you can really travel infinitely, it would be quite interesting."

"However, you are now too strong. It doesn't feel like going on an adventure into an unknown world. It's more like traveling with your family."

"Isn't this good?" Ye Men sighed, and then said, "If there is danger, I definitely won't dare to take you with me. I will probably explore it alone first, make sure there is no danger, and then come back to pick you up."

"Thank you... I am also very powerful. Ordinary monsters and bandits are no match for me."

Listening to the two people's casual chat, Kikyo gradually came back to her senses, and Kagome's original memory unconsciously emerged in her mind again.

Although it was just playing in my mind like a movie and I don't remember it very clearly, every time the two of us chatted, the related conversations and scenes would reappear in my mind.

Thanks to this, it was really hard for Kikyo to dislike both of them.

"What should we do here? The country is about to be unified, and all parties are in a state of disrepair. Are we just going to give up and leave it alone?"

"I have almost done everything I can do." Ye Men said as he thought, "With the 13th generation Hidemoto and the Hanakaiin family watching over us, and Yukitaka and Ujiyasu and others being very capable, they will check and balance each other, so there won't be any major problems."

"The warehouses are full of food and gold, and order is gradually being established. Even if I stay here forever, there is nothing I can do."

"Besides, I never wanted to be a general or a king from the beginning. Now that everything is done, it's almost time for me to retire."

? ?

Kikyo stared blankly at Yemen for a long time before she could not help but say:

"Except for you, no one else can control the current situation."

"Whether it's Sanada Yukitaka, Hojo Ujiyasu, Seshomaru, or Tou Lan, they all only follow your orders."

"If we change someone, the world will be in chaos again."

"I know." Ye Men nodded slightly. "So, I didn't plan to leave right away. I just thought... I would use the excuse that I still have a lot of things to do to give up the position of leader to someone else, and then gradually reduce the number of times I show up."

Kikyo remained silent for a long time before speaking:

"In other words, after taking Kyoto, the newly established shogunate will have someone else serve as the shogun?"

"Yes."

"Don't you have any attachment to the power of a country?"

"No."

"That's right. In just over two months, they have conquered half of the country. You really don't need to take it to heart." Kikyo sighed softly, "Have you decided on the general candidate?"

"I'm going to let Kagetora come."

"I see. No wonder you chose to use Uesugi Kenshin's name. Did you think of it at the beginning?"

"That's not the case. I just did it for fun. After I got to know Kagetora better, I suddenly thought that maybe I could give the name of Uesugi Kenshin back to her."

"If it's Kagetora, there shouldn't be any problem."

Kikyo felt a little relieved. If it were someone else, the war might have been reignited.

However, Kagetora had already inherited the name of the Echigo Uesugi family and was given a name by Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, so he changed from Nagao Kagetora to Uesugi Terutora.

As they are both Uesugi, it is legally justifiable.

She is highly capable and able to take control of the overall situation.

He has no ambition and a strong sense of justice. After becoming a general, he will never tamper with history, erase the name of Yemen, and take all the credit for himself.

only--

"Are you going to marry her?"

"I never thought about it. You should know that Jinghu is a devout Buddhist and a staunch non-marriage advocate."

"I know. But she already has a lot of feelings for you. If she becomes the shogun of the Uesugi shogunate, she will still be a puppet. There is nothing else she can do except to pledge her love to you, right? Perhaps, she will even use the excuse of stabilizing the situation?"

"... "

Finding that Yemen remained silent, Kikyo naturally understood what he meant and could not help but muttered softly:

"Playboy."

This person is good in every way except that he is so fickle, which is really annoying.

Kagome silently pinched Yemen's waist. Although she had such a premonition, it was still unpleasant to hear it with her own ears.

However, this is also something that cannot be opposed.

If he were to become a general, there would surely be countless people sending him concubines and maids, endlessly, up to dozens of people.

And if Kagetora wanted to become the general, it would be enough to just marry her.

When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one; you will always have to compromise.

Chapter 97: Life is always inseparable from a sense of ritual

'What's wrong with him?'

Kagura was surprised to find that Inuyasha was returning along the same path at a very fast speed with a distraught expression on his face, as if he had suffered a great blow.

Although they had only met once, in her heart, Inuyasha was a simpleton with a personality completely opposite to Naraku's, a simpleton with no scheming at all.

"Even a brainless idiot like this actually has troubles?"

"Well...it has nothing to do with me anyway."

"Really? I wonder how long this kind of life will last?"

'It's boring to do nothing but farming every day.'

Continue to harvest rice, and as the figure leaps in the air, one field after another is harvested clean.

After an unknown amount of time, Kagura suddenly realized that all the rice in the fields in front of her had been harvested, and she stopped fanning herself at the right time.

"Captain Kamira is amazing! Thanks to your magic, I can get off work early again today."

"Yeah, after I go back today, I can finally have a good rest."

"Captain Kamira, are you going to Kyoto? With Captain Kamira's abilities, it would be a waste for him to stay in Musashi Province."

Listening to the flattery of the humans and monsters under his command, Kagura smiled nonchalantly:

"Of course I'm going to Kyoto. I think everyone has decided the same thing, right?"

She naturally knew that the going to Kyoto that everyone was talking about was the event that had been promoted since yesterday morning.

It is said that the lord of the country planned to move Edo Castle to Kyoto.

Everyone in the city had to decide whether to go to Kyoto or stay in Edo Castle.

If you plan to stay, you must move out of the designated boundaries within one day, and the land will be redistributed after Edo Castle is moved out.

If you plan to go to Kyoto, you must return to Edo Castle before the sun sets today.

In response, 90% of the people in the city chose to go to Kyoto.

After all, Edo Castle was newly built not long ago, and the people here were relocated from various places. The earliest ones only lived here for more than two months, so naturally they would not have any nostalgia.

"Great! After arriving in Kyoto, we can start reclaiming the land again."

"Compared to farming, I prefer to open up wasteland, so I can get more land."

"It's a pity that my family is too small and the land we were given is too small. It would be great if we could have one more year or two."
