The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"The moon, is it fake?"

If this is a joke, Wu can't find the point of laughter. But if this is not a joke, then what does the so-called "fake" mean?

"Haha, it's because Takeya is a human like Reimu, so he can't feel it."

This time it was no longer Reimu who spoke, but Zi.

"I'm afraid it's not just us, many monsters are already worried, right? Maybe they will come to the shrine together soon to complain."

The doubts on Takeya's face became even more serious because Zi said something he couldn't understand. Just when his patience was about to be exhausted, Zi finally stopped pretending.

"For humans, it doesn't matter whether the moon is real or not, but it's different for monsters."

Zixu held up his right hand, as if he wanted to hold the silver plate in the night sky in his palm.

"The day of the full moon has special meaning for monsters. The full moonlight will give us great power."

"Full moonlight?"

"Yes, that must be the condition that a real full moon can provide. However, today, this special tribute to monsters has been blocked."

Zi lowered her eyes slightly, and the moonlight that no longer shined in her pupils seemed to have been swallowed up, leaving only a dark abyss.

"As monsters, we can clearly feel that the full moon's power has been taken away."

".That's why you came to Reimu to solve the accident?"

Takeya finally understood that for the monsters who relied on the power of the full moon, it was a crucial matter for the real moon to be replaced.

I'm afraid it won't be long before more and more monsters spontaneously come out to solve the mutation.

"No, it's not 'solve the mutation'."

Zi smiled slightly and denied Wu Ye's words.

"We are monsters. Monsters will not overstep the work of a shrine maiden. All we want is to get the full moon back~"

"All right."

Although in Takeya's opinion, Murasaki's words were just a word game. The necessary condition to regain the full moon was to solve the mutation. Although there was a priority, in terms of the result, they were still doing the same job as the shrine maidens.

In this case, what's the point of deliberately emphasizing his identity as a monster?

Or is this the reserve of being a monster sage?

"By the way, this is a rare opportunity. Would you like Takeru to come with us?"

"ha?"

"Eh?"

Reimu and Takeya expressed varying degrees of surprise at Murasaki's proposal.

"Hey, wait a minute, Zi."

First, Reimu frowned and said:

"It's not like you don't know Takeya's level of fighting against the five scum, so what's the use of taking him with you?"

Hearing this, the corner of Wu Ye's mouth kept twitching. Although what you said is true, please don't say it in front of the person involved!

"Okay, okay, Reimu, don't say that."

Throwing the parasol into the gap, Zi opened a folding fan to cover her face. Her narrowed eyes made it difficult to guess what she was thinking.

"Takeru may be surprisingly strong."

After saying that, she still blinked at Takeya with a "you know" look.

"."

Takeya could only feel ashamed at this. Don't tell him how powerful this realm monster can be with just a fan. In Gensokyo, even monsters can't beat this level, right?

Besides, why he was able to use that fan is still an unsolved mystery. Isn’t it just courting death to believe in such an unreliable “ability”?

And the most important thing is that he has nothing at hand now!

"Takeru, are you hiding any secrets?"

Seeing Takeya and Zi flirting with each other, looking like they were guilty of committing crimes, Reimu raised his eyebrows without any trace.

"Do you have any other secret weapons besides that useless ability?"

"Uh, no, how could I have any secret weapon?"

Waving his hands in embarrassment, how could an ability that he couldn't even figure out be considered a "secret weapon"? For the time being, Takeya had no intention of giving Reimu any inexplicable expectations.

"Really?"

Reimu looked at Takeya carefully, but soon gave up.

"Forget it, you won't 'die' anyway, and it won't be much trouble to take you with me."

"hehe."

Are you going to protect me? Does this mean that if something happens, I will be forced to leave immediately? !

Um? No, something seems wrong.

"Wait, when did I say we were going together?"

Takeru, who suddenly thought of this, pointed at himself and asked Yakumo Murasaki.

"Huh? Is there anything else that Takeru can do here?"

Purple asked with a smile.

"Well."

Wu Ye's expression froze slightly

“That’s not true”

"Then do you want to stay alone in the shrine and daze?"

Wu Ye looked embarrassed when he heard this.

".I don't think so."

"Then you can only come with us?"

The corners of Wu Ye's mouth twitched slightly.

".that's true."

What you said makes sense, but I am speechless.

Thinking about it carefully, when he comes to Gensokyo, if there is no abnormality, he can only drink tea with Reimu in the shrine. If there is any abnormality, someone will automatically count him in every time without opening his mouth.

In other words, no matter what happens, my action pattern here must be consistent with Reimu?

What a cruel childhood sweetheart.

"Forget it. So what do we do now? How do we solve the mutation?"

Knowing that he could not refuse, Takeru gave up the treatment and "honestly" changed his position.

"Even if you say that the moon is fake, do we have to knock it down directly?"

"If only it were as easy as you say."

Giving Takeya a blank look, Reimu crossed his hands on his chest with a serious expression.

"Although the identity of the 'prisoner' cannot be confirmed yet, if he can do such a thing, he must not be a guy who can be easily solved."

Silently, Reimu thought for a moment.

"Anyway, let's go to Renzhong first to see if we can get some news or something."

"That's fine."

Takeru agreed without hesitation, and Zi on the other side did not object. This was not because they agreed with Reimu's suggestion, but there was no other way.

It's better to ask someone than to run around like a headless fly, and although Reimu's money is as poor as her figure, her luck is excellent.

As if there is some strange bonus, when doing things, even if Reimu wanders around, he can achieve his original purpose.

Such unscientific forced luck was the fundamental reason why Takeya and Zi subconsciously agreed to her suggestion.

However, there is a problem here.

"Wu Ye, if we go to Renzhi, we can fly. How are you going to get there?"

".Can't you just fly with me?"

"That way, it won't be inconvenient to fight if we encounter an enemy."

".Although it sounds reasonable, I feel that you are afraid of trouble, right?"

"how come."

Smiling coquettishly, Reimu turned to look at Zi.

"Otherwise, Zi will give him a ride during the break?"

"In this case, why don't we take the time to send you there together?"

"That's so embarrassing~"

Hearing this, Reimu smiled brilliantly, seeing this, Wu Ye and Zi were silent, it was obvious that this guy was so lazy!

"Forget it, it's faster this way anyway."

Anyway, he is a master with no integrity. Zi did not hesitate for a long time before using a folding fan to create a gap in front of her. Reimu walked in without politeness, and Takeru followed closely behind. The moment before, he heard Zi's question as if talking to himself——

"We thought you could fly, Takeya."

"Eh? Why do you say that?"

Takeru stopped curiously.

"Because it's common sense in Gensokyo to be able to fly?"

"But I'm a human from the outside world."

"Is it? That's right."

While speaking, Zi slowly looked away, and murmured inadvertently.

"But it's common sense that the demon power cannot be recovered from the outside world."

"purple?"

Wu Ye, who vaguely heard what Zi said, asked strangely.

"Nothing, let's go~"

Smiling and walking side by side, Zi gently pushed Takeya's body into the gap. A strange ripple appeared in the space on both sides. The crack slowly closed after swallowing the two figures.
