Sorry, you scumbag woman, you can do whatever you want.

Reimu fell silent, lowered her head, picked up her teacup, took a sip, and fell into a dilemma. Kagome cooperated by taking out 200,000 yen in cash, placing it on the low table, and looking expectantly at Reimu, waiting for her to make a decision.

"Such information is highly confidential." Reimu spoke slowly and solemnly under Kagome's gaze.

"We'll have to pay more."

"Two hundred and fifty thousand, that's the most I can offer." Kagome gritted her teeth and stated her bottom line. She knew that it was impossible to obtain such confidential information through normal means with just two hundred and fifty thousand.

However, Reimu, being the daughter of an evil god, has the means to find out.

“Okay.” Reimu nodded, pointed to the offering box not far away, her intention was clear.

Kagome was also quick-witted; she took 250,000 yen and put it into the offering box.

If the money is given directly to Reimu, it will be lost for various strange reasons.

However, if the money is given to the god, specifically Reimu's father, the evil god, then Reimu can use it normally.

.....

.....

Five hundred years ago.

Outside the solar system.

An unknown energy source, a sudden explosive increase, like a rising sun, constantly gathering and bursting forth with astonishing energy fluctuations.

It was as if some terrifying being was about to burst through the cosmic membrane and descend upon this world.

That is a life form that transcends... planetary scale.

Chapter 167

Princess, you look very tired.

Lunar Capital.

Commercial street.

Monsters and gods, moon rabbits and moon people, many races gathered and came to the streets.

"Yoshi, you seem very tired lately." Watatsuki Toyohime took a bite of a peach and looked at her sleepy and tired sister beside her.

Princess Yorihime has been busy with work lately, dealing with an increasing number of gods and yokai who come to her for help, but she shouldn't be this exhausted.

It feels like Watatsuki Yorihime walks with a light, airy feel to it.

"It's alright, I've just been quite busy with work lately." Watatsuki Yorihime turned her head slightly and scratched her cheek.

“There are people taking covert actions at night, and I have to deal with work during the day, so I don’t have much time to rest.”

At this point, she added another sentence.

"Don't worry, things will calm down after a while."

"Yoshihime, don't force yourself." Watatsuki Toyohime said with a smile, watching her younger sister lie.

"Yes, I will take care to rest." Watatsuki Yorihime lowered her head, lacking her usual sternness and decisiveness, like a girl who had done something wrong.

To this, Watatsuki Toyohime simply smiled and continued strolling through the streets with her sister, observing the interactions between the outsiders and the Moon People while enjoying the scenery.

Although she had no evidence and her sister Watatsuki Yorihime was tight-lipped, with her intelligence, she could easily figure out what Watatsuki Yorihime had done with a little analysis.

It's simply a matter of wanting to share the burden on my mother.

……

……

late at night.

Watatsuki Toyohime walked alone on the night road, the streetlights casting a dim yellow light that shone on her, adding a touch of warmth to her figure.

Although the road was still bustling with many residents of the Moon Capital, it seemed as if they were isolated from her.

Among the three princesses of the Moon Capital, Kaguya Houraisan is like a flower from heaven, untouchable, impeccable in etiquette, upbringing, and appearance.

But that's precisely why... it's impossible to get close to it, because it's just too perfect.

It easily reflects people's flaws.

Watatsuki Yorihime's personality is too stern and upright, and she takes everything very seriously. This is not to say that Watatsuki Yorihime is pedantic. In fact, Watatsuki Yorihime is very adaptable in many matters.

However, even so... people often find Watatsuki Yorihime's overly stern and serious demeanor endearing.

It makes people feel that you are difficult to get along with, so they dare not take the initiative to approach you.

As for her, she is the person who makes the most friends in the Lunar Capital. She can talk to anyone and make friends with them.

However, in some ways she is the most unapproachable person.

And just then.

"Sister, why are you... here?" A surprised voice came, causing Watatsuki Toyohime, who was somewhat distracted, to stop and turn around to look at her younger sister behind her.

"Yoshi, aren't you going on a mission? Why are you dressed like this?" She tilted her head, looking puzzled.

Her younger sister, Watatsuki Yorihime, was reflected in her eyes. She was wearing a beige dress, and not only was she not carrying any weapons, but her hair was also loose and hanging down.

Hmm, very feminine...

This is not the same as the dignified and handsome appearance of Watatsuki Yorihime in the past; in fact, it is completely unrelated.

"I'm going out for a walk." With her head slightly lowered, Watatsuki Yorihime's fingers gently twirled the strands of hair that fell beside her ear.

Hmm, this feminine gesture... is too strange.

Normally, Watatsuki Yorihime's every move is dignified and decisive, like a sharp knife honed to its limit.

Instead of being so gentle and tender.

"Really?" Watatsuki Toyohime blinked her beautiful eyes, a look of joy on her face, and clapped her hands. "Then, Princess Yorihime, will you accompany me for a walk?"

She looked towards the end of the street.

"I know a good restaurant, and I've been wanting to go try it with you for a while now."

"This... I already have an appointment." Watatsuki Yorihime refused softly. She wasn't lying; she did indeed have an appointment.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have changed her outfit to go out.

“No wonder, Yorihime, you’re dressed like this.” Watatsuki Toyohime circled her younger sister. “Did she ask you to dress like this?”

"I just wanted a change of style," Watatsuki Yorihime lied. "This kind of outfit is softer and easier to communicate with."

In fact, her outfit was at the request of the person she was meeting, who hoped to see a different side of her, preferably something refreshing.

That's why she changed into an outfit that was different from her usual style.

"Really? That makes me curious." Watatsuki Toyohime hugged her younger sister's arm and asked in an almost coquettish tone, "Can I come along?"

"No." Watatsuki Yorihime instinctively refused, then immediately added, "Sister, I also need my own space."

"Alright, I'll wander around by myself then." With a hint of disappointment in her voice, Watatsuki Toyohime released her arms from her sister's, turned away from Watatsuki Yorihime, and slowly walked away.

Under normal circumstances, Watatsuki Yorihime would definitely not be able to resist calling out to her older sister to satisfy her willful demands.

however.

"..." Watatsuki Yorihime looked at her sister's lost and melancholy figure, bit her lower lip, resisted the urge to call out to her sister, and let her sister Watatsuki Toyohime disappear into the crowd.

Then, she turned and walked towards the agreed location.

The Royal Palace of the Moon Capital.

This is the residence of the Moon King, a symbol of power and nobility. For ordinary people, even getting close to it is a problem.

However, Watatsuki Yorihime was able to enter the palace without any hindrance, and even headed towards the Moon King's bedroom.

Upon arriving at the palace gate, he looked around to make sure no one was there before pushing open the door and going inside.

Not long after, the lights went out.

And right now.

Outside the palace, Watatsuki Toyohime quietly emerged. She gazed at the darkened palace and subtly raised her fan to conceal her expression.

The Moon Rabbit guards on duty also noticed Watatsuki Toyohime's arrival, but they hesitated because she was their superior.

They dared not expel them.

"Come here." Watatsuki Toyohime gently beckoned to the moon rabbit beside her, and asked after the moon rabbit came to her side, "Yorihime, how many days have you been here?"

"Lady Toyohime, I... I don't know." Tsukito lowered her head. "I just switched shifts and I don't know anything about Lady Yorihime's situation."

"Then do you know what Princess Yoshihime is doing here?" Watatsuki Toyohime asked with a smile, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Moon Rabbit swallowed nervously. She absolutely dared not tell the truth, or she would be doomed.

"I don't know." She shook her head, her eyes brimming with tears, pleading with Watatsuki Toyohime to stop asking.

Otherwise, she wouldn't survive the night.

"Then there's nothing we can do." Without forcing her, Watatsuki Toyohime gently patted the moon rabbit's shoulder, then walked to the palace window, listened intently, and heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.
