"To put it bluntly, it's probably your pride or your personality that's at work... You were too reckless, completely unwilling to use your full strength and always trying to hold back, which is why you ended up getting thwarted. It's just that the Dragon God suffered a little more than you did."
"Cough cough."
Thinking of the dark history, Xiangbei couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"That's true."
Recalling the habits of the various great monsters she had seen, Rika added an explanation.
"Monsters all have strong pride, and the more powerful they are, the more so. They also naturally have a contempt for humans."
"A being like the Dragon God, who is practically the pinnacle of all monsters, is naturally unwilling to use his full strength against a human like Xiao Hong."
"That's why she was beaten so badly by Xiaohong!" Huo continued, with a hint of gloating in his tone.
Is that so?
Xiangbei fell into deep thought.
Maybe that's the case. The Dragon God is not unable to use the law of time, but he disdains to use the law of time.
But then, the claw marks on my time machine couldn't be explained. I originally thought they were the work of a dragon god, the marks of a dragon's claws. But now I think about it, I've never seen a dragon's claw before, so maybe they were the claws of some other creature?
However, after knowing the Dragon God's arrogance, it may be much easier to deal with him.
Moreover, according to the description of the Dragon God in the novel, there is no need to really defeat her, because the Dragon God herself also hopes to see the establishment of Gensokyo. In other words, when the time comes, you only need to use rhetoric to the Dragon God while fighting, and you don’t even need to use your own trump cards to establish Gensokyo.
After figuring all this out, Xiangbei felt much better. Turning his head, he saw Yakumo Hong beside him. The girl was sitting on the sofa next to him, also staring at the ceiling in a trance.
"What are you thinking about?" Xiangbei asked?
"Ah? Oh, nothing." The girl shook her head.
"It's just that I saw you were thinking about something, so I just sat there waiting for you to figure it out. I was just daydreaming... So, have you figured it out?"
"That's about right." Xiangbei turned over and sat up. "The steps to build Gensokyo, how to build Gensokyo, and the final boss that we will face in the end, who will obstruct the construction of Gensokyo."
"The final boss? Is it that Dragon God?"
When Xiangbei was telling the girl about his world before, he mentioned some of this, so Yakumo Hong could probably guess who the final boss would be.
"Yes, that is a very powerful deity. For example, the changes in wind and rain within the great barrier are controlled by the Dragon God."
"A roar can tear the sky apart, drowning out thunderstorms. A twist of the body can flatten hills and cause earthquakes... This is probably the rumor among the monsters about their power."
"There's no doubt that she's the strongest being in Gensokyo."
"It sounds like a humanoid monster that's like a walking disaster." The girl was shocked.
"Then who is stronger, her or you, Xiangbei?"
"Well..." Xiangbei thought.
"Before crossing over, I fought with the secret god of our world, who also possessed the power of laws. Although we didn't use our full strength in the end, I won in the end."
"A hundred years ago, the Dragon God's power would not have been as strong as it is in our timeline... In other words, all beings in this world are weakened to me."
"Will you win?" the girl asked.
"We will win... although I really want to say that." Xiangbei clenched his fists, then released them?
"I can't guarantee it. Even in this weakened version, the Dragon God is still extremely powerful and masters the laws... Although I am confident that I possess far more powerful abilities than the Dragon God, I still haven't reached the realm of the laws."
"Then...will you lose?" the girl asked again.
"No." This time, Xiangbei answered firmly.
"At the very least, I can make the Dragon God die with me."
"..."
The girl remained silent and turned her head away.
Xiangbei thought Yakumo Hong was worried about her situation after his failure, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, I will continue to cultivate your strength during this period. If Gensokyo is not successfully established by then, I will send you to the outside world. With your strength, you will definitely be able to live smoothly in the outside world."
Upon hearing this, Yakumo Hong punched Xiangbei's shoulder lightly.
"I'm not worried about my situation! Who do you think I am?"
"Well, it's just a joke... After all, you're Yakumo Kurenai. You've been able to overcome so many difficulties, so this little one shouldn't be a big deal."
"..."
The girl opened her mouth, wanting to say something... but in the end, nothing came out.
"Yakumo Kurenai...well..." the girl muttered to herself.
Xiangbei noticed something was wrong with the girl and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
The girl shook her head and forced a smile: "Nothing, just... just a little tired."
Well, after a busy whole day, it’s time to have a good rest.
So he reached out and patted the girl's head gently: "Then take a good rest and don't think too much."
"Yeah." The girl nodded, but her heart was churning with complex emotions that were hard to describe and calm down.
Volume 4: Player Genocide Line: Chapter 226: Dream
Although the reason for the girl's silence was not what Xiangbei said, she was indeed tired after a day of work.
She got up in the morning and went out for a walk, then played the "Mao Yu Ninja" game with Xiangbei, and then prepared a large and sumptuous dinner for him. In the evening, she followed him to a meeting of monsters. The girl was really exhausted.
In addition, after talking with Xiangbei, for some reason, even though Xiangbei was clearly comforting her and caring about her...the girl just couldn't be happy.
Lying on the bed, the girl tossed and turned. She was obviously very tired, but she just couldn't fall asleep.
Yakumo Red… Yakumo Red… Yakumo Red…
The girl recalled the look Xiangbei gave her at that time. He was clearly looking at her, but she could feel his gaze penetrate her, as if he was looking at the shadow of another person.
This feeling was very unpleasant. She was clearly herself, but was treated as someone else. This made her very upset and she even had the urge to cry.
No, no, no, Yakumo Kurenai, ah Yakumo Kurenai, what on earth are you thinking about? After all, I know the Yakumo Kurenai from his world. It's normal for this parallel isotope to have some feelings for the Yakumo Kurenai from his world. Is it necessary to care so much?
Yakumo Hong buried her head in the pillow and covered it with the quilt, trying to suffocate herself to fall asleep... But she didn't succeed. After two minutes, the girl couldn't hold on any longer, so she lifted the quilt and breathed heavily.
I feel so confused and can't sleep, but tomorrow I have to inherit Hakurei's power. This is a task that Xiangbei specifically asked me to do, and he said that only I can do it. If I don't sleep, I will only feel more exhausted.
If something goes wrong, it will only cause more trouble.
So the girl lay down again, closed her eyes, and simply stopped thinking about anything. She emptied her mind, and the rustling sound of the wind in the forest blowing through the leaves seemed to turn into a lullaby, calming her mood.
In a daze, Yakumo Hong finally fell into a deep sleep.
Then she had a dream.
In her dream, she returned to the time when she confronted Fujiwara no Mokou in the human village. She stood in front of a room burning with raging fire, but the difference was that this time, Xiangbei did not come to help her.
The effect of the Penglai medicine was weakened, and Fujiwara no Momoko, who had taken a blow from her own manic high-speed flying body, did not die. Her whole body was burning with blazing flames, and she pounced on herself with the smell of burnt flesh and blood, burning herself to death again.
After being resurrected again, she tried to use the same trick again, using a manic high-speed flying body to kill Fujiwara no Mokou, but it seemed that she had already suffered a loss once. Fujiwara no Mokou's whole body was burning with the flames of the phoenix. As soon as the flying body approached Mokou, it was burned to ashes by the high temperature of the flame and was blocked.
Even if she succeeded in breaking through the fire, she would not be able to cause any fatal damage. After the first flying object cut Fujiwara no Mokou's throat, the girl never caused any more damage to her. At most, she could only cause some insignificant minor scratches, and these injuries were no big deal to Fujiwara no Mokou.
In this way, after one person died again and again, and more than ten times in total, the villagers slowly gathered here because of the commotion.
So she immediately ran towards the direction where the villagers were. Fujiwara no Mokou wanted to chase her, but in order not to hurt the villagers, she weakened the power of the phoenix flame on her body.
The girl understood Fujiwara no Mokou's weakness, so she grabbed a villager next to her and threw him directly at Fujiwara no Mokou.
Meihong was shocked, and the flames on her body dissipated in an instant. The girl saw the right opportunity, aimed at the target, and launched a manic high-speed flying body, which directly penetrated Fujiwara Meihong's head, which was not protected by flames.
[You killed Fujiwara no Mokou, gaining 7526 experience points...]
【Congratulations on your upgrade! 】

"Jingle Bell……"
The sound of the alarm clock woke the sleeping girl. She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling which was no longer so unfamiliar. Then Yakumo Hong climbed out of bed.
She looked around blankly, as if she was still immersed in last night's dream.
Was that... a dream? It was a dream, but it felt so real...
If I hadn't met Xiangbei, would things have turned out like that?
"Dingle bell... bang."
After stopping the alarm clock, the girl stretched, yawned, threw back the quilt and began to change clothes.
After becoming a girl, changing clothes became much more troublesome. Yakumo Hong also learned a lot of little knowledge that she didn't know before, such as wearing underwear...
After all, she was still a teenager, and now Yakumo Hong still blushes when she looks at her naked body in the mirror, but she can now put on her underwear normally.
After getting dressed, Yakumo Hong went into the bathroom and started washing up.
"Gululu...Pah."
Spitting out the foam from her mouth, the girl looked up at the mirror and found Fujiwara no Mokou standing by the door frame.
"Good morning, Meihong." The girl greeted. "You're up so early."
"Good morning..." Fujiwara no Moekou seemed not to be used to the enthusiasm shown by Yakumo Ben.
"It's okay. I used to get up earlier. It's better to say that I didn't need much sleep. But after fighting with you, the effect of my Penglai medicine seems to have weakened a bit. Now I need sleep."
"Oh, sorry……"
"No, no, no, it's completely useless. You don't need to apologize at all!" Fujiwara no Momoko waved her hands quickly.
"Rather, I'm very grateful to you. It's been a long time since I've slept like a normal person. Last night, I even had a dream that I haven't had in a long time."
"Ah." As the saying goes, the speaker may not mean anything, but the listener may take it seriously. The girl listened to Fujiwara no Mokou's words and pretended to ask casually, "So what did you dream about?"
"Hmm... I can't quite remember. It seems to be some things from my childhood." Fujiwara no Mokou showed a nostalgic expression.
"What about you? Did you have any dreams?"
"No." The girl lowered her head, scooped up clean water and washed her face clean.
"That's right. I seem to have heard before that dreaming all the time is not good for the health of ordinary people."
Meihong nodded and asked.
"By the way, waking up so early shouldn't be a habit for you like me, right? Are you going to do something?"
"This."
Yakumo Hong walked out of the bathroom, went downstairs and entered the kitchen, and Fujiwara Mohong followed her in.
“It’s for breakfast.”
Looking at the ingredients in the refrigerator, the girl was at a loss for a moment.
"What should I make... Come to think of it, there's nothing here to make breakfast..."
Meihong, who knew nothing about the ingredients, could only watch helplessly from the side. It was best if she didn't make things worse.
"Oh." The girl tapped her hands.
"I'll make omurice. I learned how to make it online before, and I have enough ingredients, so I'll give it a try this time."
Volume 4: Player·Genocide Line: Chapter 227: Magic·Omurice·Love!
"Omurice."
Looking at the food in front of him that he had only seen in anime, Xiangbei picked up the spoon and poked it curiously.
"This is my first time seeing this. Hong, you can actually do this?"
"I've learned how to do it once before by following a tutorial on the computer." Yakumo Hong said with a bit of regret, playing with her hair.
"It's a pity there's no ketchup or other sauces. It just doesn't seem perfect."
"Ketchup..."
It's not impossible to create it using construction techniques, but the prerequisite for creation is to understand its structure.
Xiangbei can make furniture, munitions, and even special-grade spell tools... but without understanding the structure, he really can't make ketchup.
