The Self-cultivation of the Passerby Male Protagonist

"I'll wait for you to go up from here, and then start from Gensokyo."

Zi's ​​arrangement is very clear. Takeya first enters Gensokyo to transport the finished rocket to the outside world, then lets Youmeng take the rocket to the moon, and then he returns to Gensokyo again to join the vanguard of the Oni clan in the Lunar War.

Youmu suddenly felt that his footsteps were suddenly a little vain, and listening to the news that Takeya brought was like a dream, completely unreal.

"...It feels like something terrible has happened to Gensokyo because of me."

"It's very extraordinary."

Correcting Youmu's rhetoric, Takeya rubbed the dead fish eyes that he seemed to have not woken up, but had actually given up treatment:

"It is estimated that everyone in Gensokyo will not be able to sleep."

……

The outside sun has just risen, and Gensokyo has just ushered in the sunset of the day at this moment. For many monsters, tonight must be a sleepless night, because the war is coming.

It's not that they were invaded, but that they were going to invade others. This is good or bad news for the monsters who have been immersed in Gensokyo for so long.

The strong are excited, the weak are terrified, and the irrelevant are hung up.

In the brightly lit Hakurei Shrine, monsters are gathering together to hold a grand banquet. Reimu, as the host, is unexpectedly generous today, not only lent the venue, but also provided drinks.

It's just that she didn't mean to enjoy the banquet, but stood silently on the sidelines. It is extremely rare to hold a banquet at the shrine without resolving the incident, and this time it is considered a special case.

Reimu didn't plan to participate in tomorrow's lunar war. After all, her job was to protect the order of Gensokyo. As for Zi and the others going to invade other worlds, this had no direct connection with her.

There are many people who think the same as her, such as Huiyin and Meihong in Renzhi, everyone in Scarlet Devil Mansion, Moriya Shrine in Youkai Mountain, Gu Mingdi sisters in Earth Spirit Temple, and Alice in Magic Forest and Marisa is both.

So in fact, if you count carefully, there will not be many monsters participating in the war tomorrow, but Yakumo Zi, who is the leader of the alliance, doesn't care about this, and she enjoys the banquet naturally.

Because as far as Reimu knew, many people signed up for the war, but Yakumo Zi took the initiative to persuade some people to quit the war.

No one knows why she does what she does.

Looking at Yakumo Zi who was the center of the banquet, Reimu was slightly lost in thought until a figure descended from the sky.

"Master Zi."

The monster who joined the banquet in the middle was Shemei Marufumi. She flapped her wings and landed in front of Zi, showing a rare respectful expression, perhaps because she is here as a messenger of Tengu.

She glanced around at the monsters around her, and calmly said to Zi:

"Otengu-sama hopes that Zi-sama will tell us the necessity of this war and your chances of winning."

Zi claimed that this war on the moon surface was initiated because he could not get used to the style of the people of the moon, but in fact this reason did not convince everyone, especially some old monsters.

That's why the Bunbunkai represented Otengu to ask this question. To this, Yakumo Zi's answer was——

"There is no reason for monster wars. It is the right of the strong to bully the weak."

Yakumo Zi's answer received the unanimous support of all the monsters present, and the monsters who can happily enjoy the banquet here are basically militants.

However, Wenwen was not convinced by this reason, and she continued to ask with a blank face:

"It hasn't been too long since the last lunar war, has Mr. Zi forgotten our fiasco last time?"

Wen Wen's words caused a burst of exclamation, and even Yakumo Lan quietly stood behind her, exuding a dangerous aura, but Yakumo Zi stopped her, and she just said to Wenwen lightly:

"Failure is not scary."

"...I will convey your will to Otengu-sama."

Showing a bitter smile, Wenwen did not accept the invitation to join the banquet, but left directly.

Cuixiang, who was watching all this silently, was only slightly taken aback when she heard Zi's answer, and then continued to drink with the surrounding monsters indifferently.

It's just that no one noticed that although this heroic ghost king never stopped persuading him to drink, his eyes seemed to be a bit distracted.

No one knows that Zi's words made Cuixiang recall a past, a past that has been very long ago.

At that time, she was often called Shuten-douji, which was both awe and fear for her. She was plotted against by onmyoji for her reckless behavior in human society, and was beaten to death by a strong human being with a famous sword. seriously injured.

Fleeing in a hurry with a seriously injured body, she met a passing monster. After knowing that the other party was the legendary monster sage, she happily begged the other party to join hands with herself and go back to take revenge on those despicable humans.

But the other party refused, and said to himself:

"Failure is not terrible...the terrible thing is that you, an idiot, still believe this sentence!"

Chapter 30 Ability to be half-dead

The words spoken in front of everyone are the least reliable. Cuixiang, who is familiar with Yakumo Zi's character, has always regarded this sentence as the truth.

The banquet at the Hakurei Shrine lasted until midnight, and then the monsters left, leaving only Yakumozi and Suika, and of course the host, Reimu, because she was still in charge of cleaning up.

"Zi, I think you've gone too far?"

After everyone left, Cuixiang expressed her sincere thoughts:

"Since she sent Wenwen here, it means she still trusts you, but if you do this, won't it be embarrassing to meet you in the future?"

"Will not."

Yakumo Zi doesn't seem to care much about Cuixiang's worries. She understands what the other party means. Shemei Maruwen seems to be a gossip reporter who has enough food and nothing to do every day, but in fact she is a veritable second in command in Youkai Mountain. .

She is the first capable subordinate in the row below Ootengu, and since the other party sent her to be this envoy, then more or less [-]% of them have agreed to join Yakumo Zi's team.

"She's a pretty boring guy, I've known that since we used to drink together."
