These past few days, we haven't seen a trace of Lady Zi. It can't be because she angered this person and then hid away, making her a scapegoat.
But thinking about it carefully, it does seem like that's actually possible.
After Gensokyo was established, Lady Murasaki became increasingly lazy, spending her days sleeping and peeping through gaps. She was left to do everything, and she went from being a wise youkai to a lazy youkai.
so...
She was sold out by Lord Zi!?
Gensokyo: Chapter 8 - Has Miss Mokou found a boyfriend?
"So... Lady Yuuka, are you here to find a boy named Bai An?"
Yakumo Ran asked weakly, appearing calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil, as if struck by lightning.
Who is Kazami Yuuka? She was the strongest yokai a thousand years ago, known as the Flower Tyrant and the master of all flowers in the four seasons.
Now... they actually come to their Yakumo residence looking for men?
She couldn't believe it, but the truth was right before her eyes.
"Hmm, are you sure Bai An wasn't kidnapped by that old woman Yakumo Yukari?"
Kazami Yuuka nodded, then asked a question, her scarlet eyes narrowing into slits.
"You'd better think this through. You know what the consequences will be if you dare to lie to me."
"I'm certain that Lady Zi didn't bring any boys home."
Yakumo Ran nodded repeatedly, looking nervously at Kazami Yuuka.
She knew her mistress hadn't brought any strange boys home, but she didn't know if she had abducted anyone, and she dared not say.
If Lady Zi finds out she's been betrayed, she'll probably lose the fur on her tail.
She didn't want to become a bald fox.
Kazami Yuuka frowned slightly, her eyes sweeping over Yakumo Ran.
There seemed to be something wrong with the other person's expression, but she didn't seem to be lying.
"Lady Yuuka, is there anything else? If not, I need to get back to work."
Yakumo Ran asked cautiously, nervously watching Kazami Yuuka's expression.
Although asking this question might seem like forcing the other party to leave.
But the longer it takes, the easier it is to spot the flaws.
Both options were dangerous, so she had no choice but to take the risk.
She bet the other party wouldn't be as shameless as Lord Zi, making things difficult for her, a mere shikigami.
Yuuka Kazami remained silent for a while before finally speaking.
"Never mind, you can continue. I'll leave now."
"Yes, Lady Yuuka, please take care."
Yakumo Ran breathed a sigh of relief and bowed slightly with a hint of respect.
After watching the other person leave, he raised his head, breathed a sigh of relief, and patted his chest.
According to Yuuka-sama's description, the other party is a 14 or 15-year-old boy. Although he is not a shota or anything, he is still considered young even by human standards. Is Yuuka-sama a fan of younger men?
Could it be that my Lady Purple really stole Lady Yuuka's boyfriend?
Shura field?
Then I guess Lord Zi will have to push her out as bait!
I don't know what the other person looks like, but to be chosen by this person, they must be quite good-looking.
Thinking of this, she shook her head violently, banishing the strange thought from her mind.
No, no, I'll die if I try to steal Yuuka-sama's man.
Meanwhile, in the human village.
Unaware of the situation, Bai An was still roasting sunflower seeds with Fujiwara no Mokou.
Bai An diligently stir-fried the sunflower seeds in the pan with a spatula, while Fujiwara no Mokou controlled the heat.
A crowd had gathered around, drawn by the aroma of roasted sunflower seeds.
"Why is Miss Mokou selling roasted melon seeds, and with a stranger no less?"
"I don't know, but that little guy doesn't look very old. Judging from the way the two of them are acting, it seems like there's something going on."
"Is this Miss Mokou's boyfriend? So Miss Mokou likes younger men."
Seeing that Fujiwara no Mokou was roasting sunflower seeds with a very handsome young man, everyone whispered among themselves.
Fujiwara no Mokou and Kamishirasawa Keine have been protecting the human village and helping them ever since they can remember.
To the residents of the Human Village, the two are like guardian deities.
Kamishirasawa Keine is alright. She works as a teacher and teaches the children in the human village. She is gentle and understanding.
Because of their position as teachers, they have had quite a bit of contact with them.
However, Miss Mokou has a fiery temper and a cold personality.
Normally, they just patrol the human world to see if any monsters or people are causing trouble.
Therefore, the sense of intimacy is naturally not as high as that with Shirasawa Keine.
"Five taels of gold for just one melon seed? This can't be a scam, can it?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? Who do you think you are? If you can't afford it, don't talk nonsense. Do you think Miss Mokou would cheat us?"
"Exactly, these young people nowadays just talk nonsense without any evidence."
"If you don't know, go back and ask your elders. According to the records, Miss Mokou has been protecting the human village with Teacher Keine since the very beginning of Gensokyo a thousand years ago."
The moment the doubts arose, they were immediately refuted by the crowd, with some even rolling up their sleeves in protest.
Although the former may not have much interaction with them in normal times, they have been genuinely protecting the human village all along.
Whether it was when Gensokyo was first established or now.
Therefore, the residents of the Human Village all have a deep-seated respect for Fujiwara no Mokou.
Although they also wanted to patronize Miss Mokou's business.
But the tag on the table that read "one melon seed for five taels of gold" made them too afraid to approach.
The taste was very tempting, and they trusted that Ms. Mokou wouldn't exaggerate the price to deceive them.
But the price, measured in gold, already deterred them; they couldn't afford it.
It's impossible to squander half a lifetime's worth of money just for the sake of satisfying one's appetite.
Fujiwara no Mokou also noticed that the crowd of onlookers was growing larger and larger.
At first, he was able to remain calm, but later his face gradually darkened.
She didn't say anything else, but she did say that she and Bai An were a couple, and that she liked younger men.
How could she possibly be into younger men? Besides, this guy looked disheveled and like he'd just come back from mining coal. How could she possibly like him?
"You've misunderstood. He and I aren't in that kind of relationship. We've only just met."
Fujiwara no Mokou gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and explained to everyone.
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately turned strange.
We just met, yet we're already arm in arm, roasting and selling sunflower seeds together—we work so well together.
"Oh, right, don't talk nonsense. Miss Mokou and this young man are just friends."
"Let's all stop watching here. If we're not going to buy anything, let's leave and do our own things. Let's not bother Miss Meihong."
A middle-aged man seemed to understand something and quickly shouted to the crowd.
The others suddenly realized what was happening, and they all agreed, pulling the people around them away.
If there were anything I didn't understand, my travel companion would quietly explain it to me.
However, before leaving, everyone looked at Bai An and Fujiwara no Mokou with blessings in their eyes.
Fujiwara no Mokou was extremely frustrated and wanted to explain, but everyone had already left, and besides, explaining in this situation wouldn't make any difference.
"Mokou, what are you doing? Don't get distracted! The fire's too big, it's going to burn you."
Bai An hurriedly reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Fujiwara no Mokou quickly controlled the heat, paused for a moment, and then glared at Bai An through gritted teeth.
She tried her best to explain, but he acted as if nothing had happened and continued roasting his sunflower seeds.
Gensokyo: Chapter 9 Yuuka Kazami Wasn't Jealous!
At the same time, Kazami Yuuka also arrived in the human village.
There was a large crowd watching, and since she disliked noise, she naturally had to leave.
Suddenly, as if they had planned it, the crowd dispersed.
As they dispersed.
Kazami Yuuka paused, a slight smile curving her lips. She had found the boy she was looking for.
Although his cheeks and clothes were covered with a thick layer of dust and looked dirty.
But she could still tell just the same thing: it was him.
I originally thought he had been taken away by Yukari Yakumo or had left Gensokyo, but I never expected to see him in the Human Village.
Just as Kazami Yuuka was about to approach, she saw Fujiwara no Mokou next to Bai An and stopped in her tracks.
Her mood, which had improved after seeing Bai An, soured again, and the smile on her lips gradually faded.
Bai An and Fujiwara no Mokou from the Human Village seem to be making something together.
The two seemed very happy and had a very close relationship.
