The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"Ah ~ this flame, this feeling... it is indeed Adam."

Shen Qi, who was bathed in fire, was like a wax figure, being melted bit by bit by the blue flames. Purple droplets slipped from the wings, and the pure white color was no longer replaced by a kind of incomplete distortion.

The color of the flames became darker and the intensity of the fire became larger, but this was not Takeya's subjective wish.

Just like a flame bursting out spontaneously, everything seems to be the flame's "own" choice.

Shenqi's lower body has been burned by the flames, and in her eyes covered by long silver bangs, a kind of morbid madness is brewing.

"Originally we are the same kind of people, Adam."

Shenqi's voice was calm, and although only one head in her body seemed to have not been completely swallowed by the flames, she did not panic at all.

The suddenly shrunken pupils gradually returned to their original tranquility, just like withered hydrangeas. She still wrote her pride on her withered body with her incomplete body.

"This is by no means a farewell."

Shenqi looked at Takeya with a smile and said: "See you at the end of the spiral, Adam. No, Adam of this era."

Chichi——!

The suddenly rising blue flame turned into a more domineering blue, and the arrogant pillar of fire shot straight into the sky, burning all the purple markings in the void.

The sky seemed to be torn apart, and the earth seemed to be torn open. The flames spread to every corner of the world, burning all the weird colors into nothingness.

The world seemed to have turned into hell, with blue flames rising everywhere. As the last bit of purple was burned out, the flames finally stopped beating.

As if the receding tide, all the flames shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to the place where they were originally born, and returning to Wu Ye.

When the last flame melted into the weapon of sin in Takeya's pocket, light appeared.

Like the dawn that drives away darkness, the hopeful light of the rising sun envelopes the world, expelling darkness from every corner.

Surprised by the changes in the world, Takeru unconsciously stretched out his hand towards the light coming from the distance, but what fell on his hand was a shadow.

Looking up, Wu Ye's eyes were dull for a moment.

"Is this a feather?"

The pure white feathers slowly floated down and landed quietly in Wu Ye's hands.

At the same time, the holy chariot boat under Wu Ye also made a creaking sound, and the high-rising canvas and the flag guiding the wind direction stopped swinging together.

Wu also noticed that the surrounding scenery seemed to have stopped changing.

Murasa said that the holy chariot ship runs automatically. After setting the end point, it will start sailing autonomously, but now it has stopped, so it will say——

"Is this the Dharma Realm?"

"Um?"

"What's wrong? Master Zi?"

Yakumo Blue looked at Yakumo Purple who suddenly stopped. Shouldn't he be racing against time to find Takeya's traces now?

At this moment, the master and servant are in the demon world, and the grotesque and distorted scenes in the surrounding space are three points more weird than the gap between Yakumo Zi, not to mention Yakumo Blue, I am afraid that even Yakumo Zi would not like it. Stay here for a long time.

This is also true. Yakumo Purple has never set the exit of any gap in the demon world, in order to never have anything to do with this world.

In other words, it has something to do with someone here.

"Something seems to have changed."

Yakumo Zi looked into the depths of the void and murmured: "Something has been changed there."

"There?"

Yakumo Lan looked in the direction pointed by Yakumo Purple. It was an endless void that seemed to be the same but different, distorting the flow of space and time, and even the depth could not be measured.

Lan frowned because she couldn't see anything, but there was no need for Yakumo Murasaki to lie to her, so something "changed" must have happened there.

Yakumo Lan looked at Yakumo Zi, hoping to get an answer from her, but the other party ignored her, and instead asked a seemingly meaningless question.

"By the way, Lan, is this your first time in the Demon Realm?"

"Uh, yes." Yakumo Lan was taken aback, and then replied: "Before Gensokyo was established, and before I met Zi-sama, I had been living in the outside world, and I had never heard of places like Demon World."

Although he didn't understand why Yakumo Purple asked this, Yakumo Blue still answered truthfully.

"Yeah?"

Yakumo Zi nodded, then suddenly turned her head to stare at Lan and said, "Lan, we asked you to ask that cat to wait at the Lost House before coming here, did you do so?"

"What are you talking about? This is your order from Mrs. Zi. Of course Lan will obey." Yakumo Lan lowered her head and said in fear: "The orange is already in place. If necessary, it only takes a second to open it back. path of."

"That's good."

Staring at Yakumo Lan and hesitating for a moment, Yakumo Zi said: "If something happens, you don't have to worry about us. When we let you go back, you let us immediately let that cat take you back."

"Understood"

Because of the strange question just now, even though Lan was doubtful about such an order, he didn't dare to raise it again.

Lan, who lowered his head, glanced vaguely at Yakumo Purple, but was afraid of being noticed by the other party, so he quickly took it back.

Master Zi is still unwilling to give "that" to Orange?

Silently, Lan felt a sense of loss and some faint sadness in his heart.

As the shikigami of the realm monster Yakumo Murasaki, Yakumo Blue knows that the realm monster is a monster that can become a race by itself.

Fundamentally speaking, Yakumo Purple does not feel the "ordinary" emotion of loneliness, because she was born alone.

Although in the Lost House, in addition to Yakumo Purple and Yakumo Purple's shikigami Yakumo Blue, there is also Yakumo Blue's shikigami - Orange.

Although many people regard her Shikigami Orange as the new member of the Yakumo family, this is not the case.

Only those who inherit the name "Yakumo" can be considered a member of the "Yakumo family".

Yakumo Purple never calls her by Orange's name, but always uses pronouns like "cat". This is the insistence of the realm monster and her arrogance. Yakumo Purple has nothing to do.

She had known that Yakumo Purple was always alone, and she would not give the name "Yakumo" to others easily, or in other words, it was absolutely impossible for her to give the name "Yakumo" to others.

Orange cannot inherit the name "Yakumo", not because she is not strong enough, but because Yakumo Purple will no longer give this surname to others.

Yakumo Blue is the only yokai named Yakumo besides Yakumo Purple.

Yakumo Blue is very happy because Yakumo Purple gave her such a precious surname.

But at the same time, Yakumo Blue is also very sad, because she knows that Yakumo Murasaki gave her such a surname just because——

She is just a shikigami.

The fingertips hidden in the sleeves of the robe were pinched and turned a little white. The sadness hidden under Yakumo Aoi's face was something that Yakumo Murasaki, who was above, could not see.

She knows, she has always known, the reason why Yakumo Murasaki cares about her so much and cares about her safety is not because she is Yakumo Blue, but just because -

She is just a shikigami.
