Perhaps... we've gotten used to it?
After entering the magic forest and walking for a while, the three of them suddenly stopped in their tracks.
"This is..." Bai Ye's expression suddenly became very conflicted.
“It’s exactly what you think.” Even though it wasn’t the first time she’d seen it, Fujiwara no Mokou still felt a chill run down her spine. “This is the mark left by a magic cannon she casually fired after she left you last time.”
As a genuine ordinary person, Byakuya could only marvel at the sheer destructive power of Kazami Yuuka on a physical level.
But Fujiwara no Mokou and Jeanne Alter truly felt the lingering traces of violent energy in the air.
What should have been a gentle, natural energy, when both its quality and quantity reached extremes, exhibited unparalleled destructive power.
"Master, I think we can consider going back." After trying to estimate the amount of magical energy she needed to achieve this, Jeanne Alter tugged at Byakuya's sleeve.
white night:"……"
I wish I could, but the contract has already been made. Now I can only hope that the Dimensional Shop's invincibility is powerful enough.
"Honestly, if we only consider the spirit of contract, I admire you quite a bit."
Knowing that Byakuya still decided to go to the sunflower field after seeing these traces, Fujiwara no Mokou gave him a look full of respect...
It's like looking at a martyr.
"I admit she's very good, but if we really fought, it's not certain who would win or lose. I have a little confidence in me."
"……Oh."
The title of "Tyrant of the Flower" was earned through thousands of years of bloodshed and sacrifice, fought its way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. And you...
With such a huge gap, you should first teach me how to have confidence in you.
Hopefully, that idiot named Joan of Arc will be more reliable.
……
While Byakuya and Fujiwara no Mokou entered the Enchanted Forest, in the Sunflower Field, a certain tyrant, whose fearsome reputation could silence even the most stern-faced child, was clearly in a good mood.
Although she still had doubts about whether the little shopkeeper could make Gensokyo bloom with sunflowers, she did notice the strange feeling of a contract being formed when the other party received the card containing the youkai power.
After that, she discovered that she had developed a connection with the shopkeeper.
In other words, we're not afraid he'll renege on his promise.
Nourishing ~
A pitch-black rift opened in the air, and out stepped a girl wearing a modified Taoist robe and holding a lace folding fan...?
"Yuko Yakumo, what are you doing here?" The flower fairy smirked: "Let's have a fight first, as a return gift for the gap you opened on my head a few days ago?"
"Yuuka-chan, you should know why we're here today."
Yakumo Yukari held a fan in her right hand and tapped it against her left palm.
"Purpose?" Kazami Yuuka narrowed her eyes.
She wasn't stupid, or rather, no one who survived that chaotic era was truly stupid.
However, as his power continued to increase, the Tyrant found that it was more convenient to solve problems directly with his fists and magic cannons than to use his brain.
So after a little thought, she understood Yakumo Yukari's intentions.
"You're spying on me?!"
Feeling the killing intent that had locked onto her, Yukari Yakumo raised her hand, both amused and exasperated.
"Yuuka-chan, think about it yourself. Given our relationship, do we really need to spy on you?"
"Given your personality... it's hard to say."
That being said, at least the murderous intent that seemed ready to slap you in the face with a magic cannon at any moment has faded, but there is still an aura locking onto Yukari Yakumo's presence.
"Okay, let's be honest. I just asked Lan to keep an eye on that little shop in the Human Village in her spare time. You should have noticed the strangeness there, or rather, the strangeness of that shopkeeper, right?"
"Hmm... It's a strange place. I feel like I can't beat him."
How strong is the Italian Magic Cannon of Second Battalion Commander Kazami Yuuka?
It's no exaggeration to say that during the lunar war a thousand years ago, if the moon hadn't been Tsukimi's "destiny" and had just been an ordinary star, it would probably have been shattered by Kazami Yuuka, who was a battle maniac back then—although, speaking of battle maniacs, she still is now.
In fact, because of so many years of silence, his heart, which yearned for battle, became even more restless.
After comparing the difference between herself and Kazami Yuuka in a head-on battle, Yakumo Yukari raised the danger level of Byakuya by several notches, and her gaze towards Kazami Yuuka also became more assertive.
"I will never agree to let Gensokyo be covered in sunflowers, no matter what!"
"...Why do you have the misconception that this is my purpose?"
"Eh?!!"
Lan, you spread false information and made us lose face in the Sunflower Field! You're dead meat!
Chapter 015 The Doll Crouching in the Bush
The Enchanted Forest of Gensokyo is a place where the concept of "demon" gathers. If a normal person approaches this place, they will fall into an abyss of no return if they are not careful...
just kidding.
The reason why the Magic Forest is called the Magic Forest is probably because the monster mushrooms in the forest are constantly emitting spores, and there is miasma everywhere, so that people will have all kinds of hallucinations if they stay there for a long time.
"This is really not edible."
Jeanne Alter found a mushroom from somewhere, and with a flash of fire in her hand, the mushroom evolved from raw to cooked. She then pretended to put it in her mouth, but White Night grabbed her wrist speechlessly.
Although her heroic spirit body allows her to ignore the side effects of these mushrooms, it's still better not to eat anything poisonous, right?
And when did this little tsundere become so obsessed with "eating"?
She glanced regretfully at the mushroom (ripe) that Byakuya had slapped to the ground, and was about to offer some "treasonous" opinion to her Master when a fierce glint suddenly flashed in Jeanne Alter's eyes.
"Who? Come out!"
brush!
The flag instantly appeared in Jeanne Alter's hands, and then Jeanne Alter gripped the flag with both hands and swept it horizontally towards a bush.
Compared to the sword-shaped Noble Phantasm worth 100 million, Jeanne Alter seems to prefer this flag. There are certainly reasons why Bai Ye is unaware of, but the quality of the flag is definitely not bad.
As the flagpole swept across, the upper parts of the bushes "disappeared," and a small figure was swept out from within.
"what?"
Mokou called out in confusion.
There are actually people here?
She didn't even notice?!
The flag feinted, then struck the short figure directly.
After impaling the figure with the flagpole, Jeanne Alter simply hoisted the object onto her shoulder, turned back to Byakuya's side, and, not forgetting to use her "Taunt" skill on Mokou as well:
"And yet you're the leader of the Human Village Self-Defense Corps? How can your vigilance be so poor? Are you some kind of idiot who outlasts the enemy by relying on your immense immortality?"
“You…!” Fujiwara no Mokou gritted her teeth.
What's wrong with outlasting your opponent using immortality?
What's wrong with outlasting your opponent using super-fast regeneration?
After taking the Penglai Elixir, it's hard to improve my physical strength anymore. I can only train the flames I got from the Phoenix. I'm really desperate!
Moreover, no matter how mindless the fighting style is, the one who survives is the winner!
the last point……
What the hell did I do to you? Why are you attacking me for no reason?!
"Wait, this is... a puppet?"
Seeing Jeanne Alter throw the broken Spy on the ground, Mokou asked in astonishment.
"It's more like a doll than a puppet, isn't it?" Bai Ye squatted down and poked the little thing's face, trying to put it away.
Presumably because this item had already been identified as Jeanne Alter's spoils of war, and Jeanne Alter's trust in Byakuya was practically 100% due to the unfounded Command Spell, there was little resistance to its acquisition.
Name: Reconnaissance Doll β-73
Type: Magical Item
Attribute: Magic
Quality: Excellent
"Note: It feels nice to the touch, but it's a bit too small. If there were a life-size version, I'd... hehehe..."
Upon seeing the last line of notes, both Bai Ye and Black Jeanne fell silent.
Then, before Mokou could peek over, Byakuya decisively snapped the card to pieces.
The card turned into a burst of light and then transformed back into the doll with a hole in its chest.
"If this is a puppet, then its controller should be nearby, right?"
Jeanne Alter nodded: "When I killed it, I did notice several magical threads rapidly retreating in that direction."
"It's good that we know the direction. Let's go see who has the guts to do this..."
"Wait, wait, wait! Weren't we supposed to go to the sunflower field?"
Seeing that Baiye was about to cause another unexpected problem, Fujiwara no Mokou suddenly realized that coming along today was a mistake.
Why not just draw a map for Bai Ye when he asks for one?
Even if I got to the sunflower field, I wouldn't be a match for that tyrant of the sunflower field.
Seeing that Byakuya and Black Jeanne had already run further and further away following the residual magic in the air, Mokou sighed helplessly and quickly followed.
I have a feeling that letting these two run around in Gensokyo will lead to something serious...
Chapter 016 As someone who runs a shady business, lying through my teeth is a basic skill for me.
Following the faint traces, the three of them soon came to a small Western-style mansion.
"Besides Uncle Misty Rain's family, who else actually lives in this godforsaken place, the Magic Forest?"
Looking at the modern Western-style mansion in front of her, Fujiwara no Mokou let out a soft gasp in surprise.
"Since Kazami Yuuka can blast through the Magic Forest with a single magic cannon shot, it wouldn't be a big deal if one or two more people lived there, right?" Bai Ye stroked his chin.
As a guide, shouldn't Mokou maintain composure even when faced with situations she's unsure of, so as not to cause any unease to the people she's leading?
Why do they seem less composed than I am and Jeanne Alter...?
What a fuss!
"So this is definitely the source of the magic?"
“I’m sure.” Jeanne Alter, leaning on her flag, squatted behind a bush with Byakuya. “Master, should I burn it first?”
Fujiwara no Mokou: "!"
"Absolutely not. There are many immortal beings in Gensokyo. The Great Barrier is only so big, and they will eventually explore it all. So many immortal beings cultivate one or two little hobbies, like spying..."
In the sunflower field, a certain sage, who was arguing with Yuuka Kazami, suddenly sneezed.
Yuuka Kazami frowned, thought for a moment, and then waved her hand:
"Alright, alright, I agree to your conditions. Those new varieties of sunflowers won't grow outside the current sunflower field. Now, hurry up and leave. I don't want these children to get infected with the virus you're carrying."
Yakumo Yukari: “…”
I have a few words I'd like to say, but I don't know if I should.
……
Not far from the mansion in the Magic Forest, after listening to Mokou ramble on about a bunch of random things, Byakuya clenched his left fist and slammed it into his right palm.
"So, the guys inside were in the wrong first, and even if we destroyed the dolls, a fight might not have broken out. But if we burn down the house now, a fight is definitely going to happen, right?"
"Yes, that's it!" Mokou nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"I see..." After thinking for a moment, Bai Ye patted Black Jeanne on the shoulder: "Sweetie, put the thing away first. If any of the ones inside don't listen... just kill them!"
