The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

This is punishment.

This is atonement.

If we were to find one person among everyone here to bear all the responsibilities, it would definitely be the lying self.

I am deeply in love with you,

I am merciful to you,

After losing the qualification to use weapons, I have no way to look back.

So, just once, I want to decide my future with my own ideas.

This time, it's my turn to save you, Aaron.

To the residents of Gensokyo, "Bunbun Shimbun" is famous for its nonsense, but there is no denying that as one of the sources of intelligence, it also attracts everyone's attention on weekdays.

Unfortunately, as the only reporter, Ms. Shemei Maruwen seems to be in a bad mood recently. The newspaper that used to be updated three times a day has been silent for nearly a month.

Despite this, the major events that have happened in recent days have been spread throughout Gensokyo in another way. It is nothing more than that the world has changed so much after that night.

The Third Lunar War.

Following the first disastrous defeat thousands of years ago, and the second failure not long ago, the third lunar war started without anyone knowing.

The two Moon Princesses were defeated, the Moon City was in ruins, and the Moon People were nowhere to be found. Rumor has it that even Tsukiyomi was shot down by an arrow from the former Moon Brain, Hachi Eirin.

If this seemingly brilliant result is not included in the special existence of Yashi Eirin, there are actually only two people dispatched in Gensokyo. One is the monster sage Yakumo Murasaki, and the other is often used because of his inconspicuous combat power. Ignored by everyone, but never missing every change——

Takeya Kosaka.

Boom.

The frightened deer sounded again in the yard, and the Holy White Lotus filled the cups on the table with tea. Even the temple's unique concentration tea seemed unable to soothe the sorrow between that man's brows.

A few days ago, a temple was built to the east of Jinno Sato. Although it was not far from Hakurei Shrine, the provocative intention was almost clear, but Hakurei Miko seemed to have nothing to do with it. reaction.

This temple is Meurenji Temple.

As the abbot of the temple, Sheng Bailian has been entertaining the same guest for a week in a row. She upholds the equal treatment of humans and monsters and does not reject the arrival of monsters.

However, the continuous visits for a week, coupled with the fact that he was asked some strange questions every time, really made the new abbot a little troubled.

"Master Youkai Sage." Hesitating about his words, Sheng Bairen looked down at the slightly cold tea in front of him, but did not pick it up for a long time. Instead, he said to Yakumo Murasaki in front of him in a helpless tone: "You asked. Questions I really can’t answer.”

"Can't you remember at all?" Yakumo Murasaki said calmly, but there was a bit of disappointment in her eyes: "Have you forgotten even the fact that you are a magician?"

"You are joking, I am just an ordinary human being," Sheng Bailian shook his head and said with a smile: "Although I have been sealed for so many years for some reasons, I am still a human being in the final analysis."

"Then about your brother, do you remember?" Yakumo Zi asked still unwilling to give up.

"Are you talking about Minglian?" Sheng Bailian's eyes flashed with memories: "He is indeed a very outstanding person. As a sister, I feel a little ashamed."

"Is this so?" After listening to Bai Lian's words, all the hope in Yakumo Purple's eyes finally came to nothing.

She really couldn't remember anything. After becoming an ordinary human, she couldn't remember a single bit of the past.

"excuse me."

After saying a word, Yakumo Murasaki slipped into the gap and ended this endless conversation.

Through the cracks in the gap, Yakumo Murasaki stepped from Meiren Temple to the other side. The Right and Wrong Hall, which was once revered for its order and rules, is now empty of people.

Shiki Yingji disappeared.

That was the news that he got from the mouth of the lost Komachi. Without the other side of the King of Hell, the dead souls could not be judged, and naturally they could not rest in peace. For this reason, another undead riot broke out in Gensokyo.

Fortunately, Yuyuko guided all the spirits to the underworld in time, and was able to barely control the small changes that occurred due to the disappearance of the King of Hell.

No one knows where Yama has gone, except Yakumo Murasaki.

Looking at the empty Right and Wrong Hall, she unconsciously let out a sigh and quietly walked into the gap.

Hell has become chaotic, the demon world has disappeared from the map, and the moon has turned into ruins. Along the way, Yakumo Murasaki's last stop is the Eternal Pavilion in the Lost Bamboo Forest.

Although she was already prepared, the strong medicinal smell still made her frown uncontrollably.

"Knock on the door, huh? It's you, so forget it, ahem."

Helpless complaints came from the hospital bed. Bayi Yonglin's slightly thin face was full of morbid paleness, and her once heroic eyes had lost their luster and became dim at this moment.

"How are you?" Yakumo Purple didn't regard herself as an outsider at all. She pulled up a chair and sat down when she came in. From time to time, she picked up the medicine bowl used by Yashi Eirin, and the pungent smell of medicine hit her face.

"As you can see, you are lucky to be alive." Bayi Yonglin said with a self-deprecating smile.

After a moment of silence, Yakumo Murasaki asked again: "Where are your disciples?"

"Recuperating," Bayi Yonglin looked at the faint sunlight coming in from the window, and said sadly: "I don't know anything else, at least the power of the gods no longer exists."

"Really?" Yakumo Purple's eyes followed Yashi Eirin to the evening bamboo forest outside the window, which seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, hazy and unreal dream.

They all knew that from that day on, there would be no more gods.

The roots of the gods were destroyed, and all the mythological gods were affected. The weak ones almost disappeared on the spot. Those who survived were not much different from Yayi Yonglin. To put it bluntly, her current strength is almost even that of the big one. Not even monsters.

The one who is in the best situation is probably Yasaka Kanako of Moriya Shrine, because she "fallen" as early as the mythical era, but she became the least affected.

The third lunar war should be said to be a civil strife on the moon. Tsukiyomi led almost all the moon people except Yayi Eirin and Horaishan Kaguya to rebel against their real god-Chang'e.

The result was a success, but it could also be said to be a failure.

Chang'e was defeated, but not by the people of the moon, but by Wu Ye.

Wu Ye not only defeated Chang'e, but also cut off all connections with her so far, whether it was believers or Yueyi, they were all sent into the dust of history by Wu Ye.

The age of the moon god has completely passed.

As Chang'e's most loyal subordinate, although Bayi Yonglin was sad, she was not surprised.

After Chang'e's death, she finally got back the seven-day memory that had been taken away from her. Whether it was her relationship with Takeya or the battle with the Gods, she remembered everything.

Wu Ye, Adam.

One identity, two different souls.

The grudge between Chang'e and him was like a tangled ball of thread. Bayi Yonglin couldn't tell whether she should hate that person or not. She could only think about such a problem now that they had disappeared. Her That hatred seemed a little ridiculous.

And speaking of it, there was a guy right in front of her who should be troubled far more than she was.

"Yakumo Murasaki," I don't know how long it took, Yashi Eirin looked directly into Yakumo Murasaki's eyes and suddenly asked, "Do you hate him?"

"."

Yakumo Murasaki didn't answer Yashi Eirin's question, not because she didn't know the answer, but because there was no need to answer.

Since Yashi Eirin got her memory back, it stands to reason that Yakumo Murasaki also got her memory back.

The only difference is that Yakumo Murasaki regained not only her memory, but also her ghost.

The girl who once transformed into "Maelbelly Hearn" finally returned to her true form with all her memories.

She thought of the feud between Wu and Wu that lasted for thousands of years, and of the hatred between Wu and Wu that had gone through several reincarnations. Of course, she also remembered that after knowing the truth of the world, in that distant time and space, in the world called "reality" , the boy who died in her arms.

He has never been a hero, he has even become a villain in the story, using the cruelest means to destroy the best world, but even so, he is the most important existence to her and them.

Even if no one knows.

Even if no one cheers.

Even if no one will thank the young man who saved everything.

She still talks.

Yes, no matter when or to whom, Yakumo Murasaki can speak out openly.

"What are you talking about, Eirin, how could I hate Takeya."

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Yakumo Murasaki's smile was so bright: "It's better to say that I have never felt that I like Takeya so much."

Therefore, how can it be allowed to simply let him disappear from our world?
