Chapter 301: Reiko no 终

Chapter 301
It is the spring of another year, and the gaps in the gloomy dark clouds are white. The golden beam of light shot straight down from it, separating the dark space.
"This year's cherry blossoms seem to bloom more enthusiastically than in the past." You Yuko said while supporting the wooden door on the edge. She always looked at the sky and the dancing cherry blossoms.
There are no bright pink flowers in the rainstorm, only dancing. Praises the short life.
"It's really a monster." Yakumo Zi said: "The death is terrifying, but this westward demon takes the lives of human beings because of its beauty, and makes the living immersed in dreams to die peacefully."
"Yes. Really..." Her eyes were fixed in the sky, and her voice was a little vague, "Can't monsters and humans live together?"
"Maybe, who knows something that hasn't been tried?" Yakumo Zi said nothing about it.
Monsters live on the fear of human beings. Human beings instinctively resist because of fear. This contradiction has been irreconcilable since ancient times. In other words, this is more like a ‘natural phenomenon’ and there is no way to fight it. Of course, there are very few exceptions. But individual differences cannot be used to measure the whole.
"Compared to this, this time next year, it will be your 18th birthday." Yakumo Zi smiled and said, "I will be looking for you then."
"Ah, are you going to drink again?"
"It's not ‘you’, it’s ‘us’, it’s ‘us’." Yakumo Zi emphasized.
"Yeah." Youyouzi smiled.
If at this time, Yakumo Zi, known as the sage of the monster, even if only for a short while staring at Yuyuko, would he be able to find the complicated emotions hidden in her eyes?
Looking forward, remembering, regretting, confused, painful, yearning...
If you know it, can the monster be able to realize what kind of mood the human being in front of him is smiling at himself?
However, there is no if, Yakumo Zi left.
Monsters have a long lifespan, and they are slow to the passage of time.
One year or two years, I have been here continuously. In my past career, there has never been such a high frequency of repetition.
Before she knew it, this human girl had become the only object of the monster to talk to.
It's incredible.
It was only two years later, but only in a flash.
But there is a kind of warmth lingering in my heart.
In the years that have been so long that the memory has been blurred, such a feeling has never appeared.
Yakumo Zi, who has been alone and solitary since birth, naturally couldn't understand the heat in his heart.
I only knew that when I was with this human named Xixingsi Yuyuzi, I could forget the complicated world, and my heart seemed to be comforted and become peaceful.
The long-term loneliness has made Yakumo Zi cast the name of a sage, which can easily be forgotten by humans and be respected and awed by monsters.
But the more so, once the lonely heart opens the door to her, her feelings will flow out like a flood of floodgates, rushing out with incomparable swiftness.
It's just this, Yakumo Zi doesn't realize it now.
Yakumo Zi now knows that humans are very fragile creatures.
She put aside all the responsibilities of being a monster sage, and began to visit all the mountains and rivers, looking for the masters, in order to find the law of longevity.
According to rumors, there is a great onmyoji in Ping'an Jingzhong who is proficient in the method of reincarnation, but after some contact, he has created a system of shikigami.
According to rumors, there are real immortals on the western continent, but they did not find them, but accidentally saw Baopuzi and discovered the Nine Secrets.
Rumored...
Yakumo Zi walked many places, hoping to find the most suitable way of longevity for Yuyuko.
She didn't know why she wanted to do this, but it would be great if she could give this gift on her 18th birthday.
Therefore, the monster has been looking for...
The screen changes again.
On the frantic night of Ziyue, the lights disappeared silently, and the night sank into darkness.
This place has become a Hades.
There, a cherry blossom is in full bloom.
The petals reflected countless deaths, stained with pale colors, and fell to the ground and turned into ink.
Very beautiful.
A dazzling bright scene.
After such an extremely beautiful bloom, it will usher in an eternal end.
Under the cherry tree, lies a young girl whose life has passed.
Looking at the girl like a cherry blossom, Yakumo's purple blood seemed to stop circulating, staying in place, almost collapsed.
She silently hugged the girl's body, and the temperature continued to flow from her surface.
You Youzi opened his last look, looked at Yakumo Zi, smiled, and moistened his eyes.
"...Is it...I couldn't drink together..."
Like sakura dancing, the hands that lost their strength and support fell downward.
Yakumo Zi, just holding the girl's body in silence.
A few years later, You Subai's hand held a brush and wrote on the book:
"The daughter of Fuji see, when the westbound demon is full, separate the secluded realm, and her soul will rest in the white jade building, sealing the westbound demon flower, so it is a barrier. If possible, I hope that I will not suffer again and forget the reincarnation forever. Rebirth..."
......
"...You...you, you!"
As if a distant voice was shouting, Ye You's consciousness gradually returned.
"Yu! You finally woke up!"
Ye You slowly opened his eyes, and a beautiful anxious face appeared in his vision.
"Dome..."
Ye You's head was still a little confused.
Just now, is that...Yaunzi's memory?
Before he could think carefully, the sound of fire and violent fighting from his ears instantly made Ye You calm.
Then I looked around and found myself surrounded here.
There were a dozen humanoid monsters with a height of about two persons. There were two kinds of blue-faced fangs and red-faced fangs. The eyes were round and protruding, and the head had double horns. He also held a one-person-high mace in his hand. Full of bone spurs.
This is... a ghost?
Qing Ji surrounded and protected her side with a cyan flame, but there were still ghosts constantly trying to break through the flame circle and enter.
Ye You can be sure of the current situation. This is Gensokyo a thousand years ago.
There was no order in Gensokyo at that time.
As for what you see is real or false? What happens if I die here?
This kind of problem will be considered later, and these ghosts must be dealt with first.
And the other side.
Yakumo Zi slowly walked under the cherry blossom tree, where there was a young girl sitting quietly on the mat.
"You are here, Zi." Youyouzi smiled.
"Well, here it is." Yakumo Zi looked at her quietly, his mouth slightly bent.
It has been a thousand years, and it is still like yesterday.
"You said you want to give me a gift? What is that?"
"Sorry, forgot."
Yakumo Zi sat down, and there was a small table between the two. She took out a pair of sake, wine from a thousand years ago.
"Come to the bar and stay drunk or return."
