"So, in order to address our mutual needs... I have a proposal that will give us the best of both worlds. Of course, you can also think of it as a trade."

He pointed north to the rocket on the side.

"As I said before, this time machine is damaged. I will probably remain in this world until the problem is found or repaired."

"As I said before, although you were indeed forced to retaliate, you did kill the Youkai Sage and the Hakurei Miko, who were extremely important to Gensokyo. Not to mention the changes in interests involved, after the deaths of Yakumo Yukari and Hakurei Reimu, there are people who will do anything to avenge them... and there are quite a few of them, and they are also quite powerful."

"Even if you possess the power of the Law, you cannot fully utilize it. Your previous killings of Yakumo Yukari and Hakurei Reimu were pure luck. If they had taken you seriously and realized how dangerous you were... well, you're a smart person. You should know the consequences of your failure."

Ah, yes, the consequences of failure...

As long as the system exists, Yakumo Hong will not die.

But because she cannot die, if Yakumo Hong loses the battle with those big monsters, she will probably face a future like hell, a future worse than death.

"So, what you mean is."

Yakumo Hong quickly understood what Xiangbei meant.

"During the time I can't go back, you will be responsible for protecting me from those monsters. In exchange, I will use some of the Law Parts to revive Yakumo Kurenai in your world as your reward for protecting me. Is that right?"

"Oh, you catch on pretty quickly."

Her brain works much faster than Yakumo Hong in our world.

"You should have seen my strength before, right? Don't look at me like this. If it were in this era, it would be concentrated in the realm of Gensokyo..."

“I might be the strongest.”

Yakumo Hong looked up at the level of over 800 above Xiangbei's head and realized that what the other party said was true.

Indeed, he can suppress Fujiwara no Mokou who possesses the power of the phoenix with just a wave of his hand. He possesses special props that can travel through time and space. When he checked before, he found that this guy's innate power is ridiculous, and he is simply at the level of a world-class BOSS.

If it were him, maybe it would really work...

"It sounds really good." Yakumo Hong was a little tempted.

But as the "normal" Yakumo Hong, her brain is much better than the naive Yakumo Hong in the main world, and in a sense, it may even be better than Huo.

"But what am I going to do if you leave?"

"Under your protection, I might be able to spend some time safely, but you can't always be by my side, right? If you want to return to your world, you'll have to gather intelligence everywhere. And if you really repair your time machine and return to your world, what should I do?"

"It would be fine if extracting some of the law components doesn't affect me, but if there is an impact... can you guarantee that I won't be affected in any way after extracting the law components?"

Yakumo Hong turned her gaze to the person in front of her, wanting to get his assurance.

Xiangbei shook his head, and Yakumo Hong's eyes dimmed.

"As expected... But, there's no better way, right? You could have just taken my Law Parts... Sorry, I was a little too excited just now. I actually..."

"Do not."

Xiangbei raised his hand to stop Yakumo Hong from speaking, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"You've truly exceeded my expectations. You've come up with so many things in such a short time... Could it be that, Yakumo Hong, you're actually a very smart person?"

"You're being a bit rude." The girl snorted in dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry, but the best of both worlds solution I mentioned isn't what you just said, or maybe it wasn't comprehensive enough."

"In that case, I'll just say it straight out."

He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of black tea to moisten his throat.

Then, he pointed north towards Yakumo Hong in front of him.

"Girl, come and sign a bond to become a Hakurei miko!"

Volume 4: Player Genocide Line: Chapter 205: Become a Hakurei Miko!

"Girl, come and sign a bond to become a Hakurei miko!"

The suspiciousness of these words was no less than if an unknown white-haired creature told you in front of you, "Come and sign a contract to become a magical girl." Yakumo Hong was stunned and then asked.

"Hakurei Miko...what on earth is that?"

Looking at Yakumo Hong's confused expression, Xiangbei slapped his face and said.

"Yeah, I've told you so much, but I haven't told you anything about Gensokyo... So let me first tell you about Gensokyo and what the Hakurei Miko is all about."

It took some time for Xiangbei to tell Yakumo Hong why Gensokyo was established and the story of the Hakurei shrine maiden. Because Yakumo Hong had basically not eaten all day, Xiangbei asked the curse spirit to fry some rice for Yakumo Hong to fill her stomach.

"I see...Ahh."

Although it was just an ordinary bowl of fried rice, Yakumo Hong ate it with gusto. She listened to Xiangbei's story while eating, and said after swallowing the rice in her mouth.

"I understand everything about Gensokyo and the Hakurei Miko."

"But I still don't understand why you want me to become a Hakurei shrine maiden. Does this have anything to do with the best of both worlds solution you mentioned?"

"Well, there are many reasons."

He casually took two mouthfuls of rice and stretched out four fingers to the north.

"There are three reasons."

"One: As I said before, you killed the Yokai Sage and the Hakurei Miko. This will cause extremely serious unrest in Gensokyo. Although I only cited the examples of acquaintances of Murasaki and Reimu seeking revenge, in reality, there will definitely be other Yokai and gods who will cause trouble for you for this reason."

"As long as the vacancies of the Youkai Sage and Hakurei Miko remain unfilled, the unrest will continue. Because the news of Yakumo Yukari and Hakurei Reimu's deaths hasn't spread, Gensokyo is still peaceful right now. But over time, problems will surely arise with the youkai, and then we'll be in trouble."

"So it's perfect for you to fill the position of Hakurei Miko. That's one reason."

"Second: As you just mentioned, if a monster comes looking for you while I'm away or not by your side, it might harm you. That's true. I can't protect you all the time. Even if I leave you some clones or weapons, I'm afraid it won't solve all the problems."

"However, if you become a Hakurei shrine maiden, you will gain and master the power of the Hakurei shrine maidens, also known as the Hakurei force... In addition to the powerful talents that each generation of Hakurei shrine maidens possesses, the inherited Hakurei force is also a major part of their strength."

"So if you become the Hakurei Miko, you should be able to protect yourself even when I'm not around. That's the second reason."

"Three: Becoming a Hakurei shrine maiden actually comes with a significant price to pay. Therefore, most Hakurei shrine maidens don't live long. The first generation of Hakurei shrine maidens even sacrificed their lives to establish Gensokyo."

"However, you who possess the power of law do not need to bear these costs. If you choose to become a Hakurei shrine maiden, I will not have to choose another girl as a sacrifice. This is the third point."

"As for the fourth..."

Having said this, Xiangbei paused.

"That's my own request."

The main quest given by the system, although the name seems to be about the genocide line, but judging from the quest requirements... it is obviously about asking Xiangbei to establish Gensokyo!

This seems to be one of the main tasks of Yakumo Hong in the original novel, but that is to help the monsters in the dream world to build Gensokyo. In the end, Yakumo Hong also fought with Susanoo, while Xiangbei helped the monsters in a parallel timeline in the past to build Gensokyo.

But on his side, at the beginning, Yakumo Yukari and Hakurei Miko were both missing, and two of the most important key figures in establishing the great barrier were gone.

And this is just one stage of the task. Once it is completed, the next stage of the task will be unlocked.

This side quest is related to the genocide line, so the subsequent quests will obviously be related to Yakumo Hong in this world.

It’s just that it’s still unclear what kind of mission it is, but no matter what it is, it will naturally be much easier if I can establish a good relationship with Yakumo Hong in advance.

Therefore, if Yakumo Kurenai can become the Hakurei shrine maiden, all the above problems can be solved. It is like killing four birds with one stone, a sure-win deal!

Of course, I still can't say this directly to Yakumo Hong, so I have to rely on my own words to fool her.

"I still have some feelings for Gensokyo." Xiangbei crossed his arms, leaned back on the sofa, and tilted his head back.

"So even if it's Gensokyo in another world, even if the monsters of this era... are unfriendly, I still want to try to build Gensokyo and create a world I want to see."

"Besides, this is also beneficial to us. If Gensokyo is successfully established, it will surely attract youkai from all over the world who want to join, and there will be more opportunities to collect information on repairing the time machine."

"And as the Hakurei miko, you will be the most important node in maintaining all of Gensokyo. Even if Yakumo Yukari and Hakurei Reimu's friends hate you to the core, they won't do anything to you. Even if they want to kill you anyway... the other youkai will definitely not ignore you."

"With these four reasons, this is the best of both worlds solution I can come up with. What do you think, Miss Yakumo Hong?"

“Oh, oh oh oh…”

It sounds like a very suitable choice... and there is basically no reason to refuse.

To be honest, she didn't want to stay here. No matter what Xiangbei's attitude towards Gensokyo was, or whether Gensokyo was indeed a nice place... she didn't care.

She just wants to go home.

It doesn't matter even if her parents can't recognize her anymore. She just wants to go back, back to her own home, the world where she grew up and lives.

But Yakumo Hong had no idea how to go back. According to Xiangbei's description, this was no longer the world she was in, but another world full of monsters and demons.

Although Yakumo Hong thought that the Yakumo Hong in Xiangbei's world was crazy, judging from her personality, if she could go home, that Yakumo Hong would definitely go back. But even after experiencing two real deaths in a row, that Yakumo Hong was unable to find the way back... The probability of her being able to go home was probably not very high.

In the worst-case scenario, I might have to live in this world for the rest of my life.

"By the way, although my time machine cannot carry people, it does allow you to bring belongings."

Xiangbei snapped his fingers, and all kinds of modern daily necessities emerged from the shadows - glasses, comics, computers, game consoles, toilet paper, etc.

"If you can accept my opinion, I will do my best to allow you to maintain a modern standard of living within my ability... So, what is your decision?"

"What else is there to say?" Yakumo Hong smiled.

"There's absolutely no reason to refuse... Well then, Mr. Xiangbei, I promise you, I will become the Hakurei shrine maiden of Gensokyo."

"But before that, I have another question for you."

"You said."

"I can fill the position of Hakurei Miko, but what are you going to do about this Youkai Sage?"

"Haha, don't worry about that. I have my own way to solve it."

He gave the north a thumbs up and smiled.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually a qualified EVA pilot!"

Yakumo Hong:?

Volume 4: Player Genocide Line: Chapter 206: MUSIC!

"So, the contract is established?"

After using the great deception technique, he finally made the girl believe him. Yakumo Hong also felt that becoming a Hakurei shrine maiden would have more advantages than disadvantages, so he agreed to the proposal.

However, Yakumo Hong did not believe in verbal promises, so in order to make the contract go on better, Xiangbei and Yakumo Hong signed a "binding" agreement with each other.

[Bound: Violating the bondage contract will result in a random and unknown severe punishment.]

The constraints imposed on Xiangbei were that during his stay in Gensokyo, he would do his best to ensure Yakumo Hong's safety, while the constraints imposed on Yakumo Hong were that when she had completely established herself in Gensokyo, she would voluntarily provide her own law parts to Xiangbei.

"Well, the bond has been established. We are now allies."

The restraints are just a form of insurance and may not have much actual effect, because Xiangbei also set up some word games in the restraints, and Yakumo Hong...she has the ability to resurrect, so she may not be afraid of any side effects of the restraints.

If she dies once and then resurrects, the binding effect may disappear directly, but if possible, Xiangbei does not want to let Yakumo Hong die again.

After all, death is never a pleasant experience. Even though Yakumo Hong has died dozens of times in a row, which has caused her to have some resistance to death, from Xiangbei's perspective, he still sympathizes with the girl.

So if possible, Xiangbei didn't want to see Yakumo Hong die again. Besides the fact that it might lead to the release of the restraints, from Xiangbei's personal emotional point of view, he couldn't bear to see the girl suffer again.

At the same time, he theoretically had the ability to protect the girl. If he set up constraints and let the girl get into danger and get hurt, it would not only be a dereliction of duty, but he might also lose Yakumo Hong's trust.

"Well, it's getting late. As a human being, Yakumo Kurenai, you need to sleep... I'll prepare a room for you. You can stay here tonight."

As he spoke, Xiangbei took Yakumohong upstairs, led her into a room, and helped her make the bed, quilt, pillow and other daily necessities.

"If you want to take a shower, the second room on the right is the bathroom. I'll have the cursed spirits prepare hot water."

"There are also toothbrushes, towels, hair dryers and the like. I've already turned on the electricity, so you can use them if you want."

"If you're still hungry, I put some bread in the refrigerator downstairs. You can go get some to fill your stomach."

"I'm going to talk to Fujiwara no Moeko later... the white-haired girl who wants to kill you and set the fire. You should go to sleep first. We can talk tomorrow if there's anything else."

After finishing all these, Xiangbei ordered the cursed spirit in the house to guard the place, then he dived into the gap and disappeared in the room.

"..."

After looking around, he found no trace of Xiangbei. He checked the system map and found no sign of Xiangbei except for the cursed spirits that were put down to guard the house.

"call."

Yakumo Hong took off her shawl and threw it aside, then threw herself onto the bed, buried her head deeply in the pillow, and let out a long sigh.

What's this all about...

Before traveling through time, the girl was an extremely ordinary person. Apart from obtaining the unusable system, she had basically no other special experiences.
