Moe Girl Guardians

"Hey, Kurumi, who is Yuuka? Why did Lady Yuuka send her to the Dream Pavilion?" As soon as the door closed, Ellie's eyes lit up as she looked at Kurumi. She didn't know why, even though she often skipped work and ran off, she didn't seem to have as much information as Kurumi.

If you don't get the answer from Youfeng, you might get it from Hutao.

"It would be so much better if Ellie would ask about something worthwhile when she skips work, instead of just going out to have fun all the time," Hu Tao said softly, tapping Ellie on the head.

"Because of Walnut~" Ellie tilted her head and giggled, then clung to Walnut again.

"Yuuka... he can be considered Yuuka-sama's friend, I suppose," Kurumi said after a slight pause, her fingertips brushing against her cheek.

"Friends!" The scythe braced itself against the ground, stabilizing Ellie's unsteady body. She repeated incredulously, "Friends? Lady Yuuka has friends again?"

If it were said that a few more enemies had been added, even Ellie, who was at the level of a powerful demon, wouldn't be too surprised. It's quite normal. Given Lady Yuuka's sadistic personality, it would be illogical for her to go out without offending a few people.

To date, there are only one or two people whom Lady Yuuka considers friends, not enough to fill one hand, such as the half-beast Shirasawa Keine from the Human Village.

"Yuuka's strength doesn't seem very strong. How could she become Lady Yuuka's friend?" Ellie still shook her head, indicating disbelief. Even if she believed Lady Yuuka had changed her ways, it was still more believable than this.

"Friendship isn't determined by strength. Isn't Lady Huiyin's strength far inferior to Lady Youxiang's?" Hu Tao chuckled softly.

Her more serious personality than Ellie's, and her long-term contact with Yuuka, led her to believe that perhaps Lady Yuuka was gradually beginning to regard Yuuka as a friend. Perhaps it wasn't obvious yet, but it should become more apparent after some time.

"But it's still too far off..." Ellie muttered unconvinced, her hands behind her head as she held the inverted scythe. Judging from the energy fluctuations of the ghostly wind, it was only around the upper-middle level of the ferocious level. Even if friends don't distinguish between strength, it was still too far off.

"Don't underestimate Youfeng," Hu Tao's expression changed slightly. She turned around, pushed open the door of the Dream Pavilion, and pulled Ellie outside. While performing her duties as a gatekeeper, she continued to speak.

"What kind of person does Ellie think Ghost Wind is?"

"She looks like a female yokai... no, she's even prettier than a typical female yokai, and she might even have some powerful background," Ellie said after thinking for a moment, leaning against her scythe, sitting cross-legged on the ground, supporting her head with one hand.

Wu Feng's most striking feature was his appearance. After asking about his background, she realized he must have some kind of identity. Besides that, there were other special things about him that she didn't know.

"He's very strong; if Ellie goes all out, she might be at a disadvantage."

"Although I'm not as good as Hu Tao yet, I've already touched the threshold of a quasi-god!" Ellie took a step forward, almost bumping into the blade of the scythe, and dodged with lingering fear, saying defiantly.

“I’ve already factored in your strength after your breakthrough,” Hu Tao said, looking at Ellie with a headache. Her talent was absolutely amazing, but she was too lazy. Guarding the Dream Pavilion, she had no enemies for years. Even at the quasi-god level, she couldn’t unleash her full potential.

"At the same level, Yuuka's power is only slightly weaker than Yuuka's. In this battle, Yuuka's power was suppressed to the peak of the lower level of Madness, and she only won in the end."

"…!" This time, Ellie was truly shocked. She and Kurumi knew Yuuka-sama's power best; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the strongest in the human world. She was only slightly inferior to Yuuka-sama in the same level? If she didn't know, she would definitely be doomed!

"The friendship she developed with Lady Yuuka?" Ellie murmured. The series of information had greatly surprised her, but it also explained why Lady Yuuka considered Yuuka a friend.

"Maybe it really is because of her connections," Hu Tao chuckled as she sat down next to Ellie.

"Is he someone important?"

Yes, it's very big.

"How big is it?"

"Bigger than the Dreamland!"

"..."

"I'm just kidding. Yuuka is the second shikigami of the Youkai Sage."

"...There's no way Lady Yuuka would do that" is indeed a significant status, but not to the point of being implicated.

"Still the steward of the Jade Pavilion in the Underworld."

"..." Ellie's mouth opened slightly. Was her teasing about Yuufu really going to come true? There were only a few people in the White Jade Pavilion, and the butler's identity was more like a symbol, symbolizing his relationship with Yuufu.

"It can't be related to the Monster Mountain, can it..." Ellie asked with difficulty, her eyes filled with hope, hoping it wasn't related...

"There seems to be a rumor that Yuuka is about to get engaged to the wind goddess girl of Youkai Mountain."

"..."

"Could he have some other identity...?"

"We don't have any bigger ones left," Hu Tao said after thinking for a moment.

"However, it seems that she has some... um... special relationship with Lady Huiyin."

No wonder! Youfeng's expression was so strange when I said those things! I'll make him pay next time we meet! Ellie thought angrily, waving her fist.

But unexpectedly, Yuuka really does have so many identities, almost connected to all the major powers in Gensokyo. If you add the Dream Mansion to that list... Pray for those who have offended him...

"How does Walnut know so much... She never skips work, yet she knows more than me?" This was one of the questions that Ellie had always been curious about; it was simply unscientific.

Well, because I ordered some things.

"?" Ellie looked at Hu Tao in confusion. Subscribe?

"It's almost time," someone said. Just then, a newspaper flew down from the sky, with the words "Wenwen Daily" written on the top in large characters...

P.S.: Anyone want to see a Rumia storyline? →→ How could it possibly appear so early?

Chapter 345 The New Issue of Wenwen Daily

"Although the content is extremely unreliable, a careful analysis can still yield a lot of correct information," Hu Tao said calmly as the newspaper fell to the ground.

Having subscribed to so many issues, I know from the content how outrageous it is, but it's still pretty good for entertainment. There's no smoke without fire, and some of the events in it must have a reason. Extracting them can also help us understand a lot about the outside world.

"There's actually such a thing..." Ellie stared at the newspaper in confusion. Had she really lost to it?

"By the way, the creator of this newspaper is Aya Shameimaru, the wind goddess of Youkai Mountain, and Yuuka's fiancée..." As Kurumi opened the new issue of the newspaper, a subtle change appeared on her pretty face.

"Is there anything special about this issue?" Ellie's slightly changed pretty face aroused her curiosity, and she leaned forward to take a look.

[Wenwen Daily] Issue 476 [Is this publication facing a crisis of cessation?]

(Our reporter: Aya Shameimaru)

(Note: Due to important matters, the author, Aya Shameimaru, will be hosting this issue of the "Aya Shameimaru Daily" as a special guest reporter, Kiyoshi Himekai.)

Hello everyone, I'm your special correspondent Ji Haitang. Not only for this issue, but I'll also be doing the reporting for Wenwen in the next few issues =v=.

Why is this reporter writing the "Aya's Daily" in Aya's place? That's right, it involves a major event concerning Gensokyo! It's so serious that Aya can't be allowed to roam freely throughout Gensokyo anytime soon, and it also affects whether the "Aya's Daily" can continue to be published in the future!

(If Wenwen Daily ceases publication, please subscribe to Huaguozi Daily. The revamped Huaguozi Daily will definitely not disappoint you!)

Following a brief text description is a clear and gorgeous photograph. It's quite unusual, composed of two distinct artistic styles…

The scene on the right is realistic. Wenwen stands in the azure sky with her black wings spread, a happy smile on her pretty face, holding a camera in her hand, seemingly focused on a certain direction, but she is wearing a pure white wedding dress!

The direction Wenwen was looking at, to the left, was in a manga style... It featured an image of Youfeng using the "Phoenix Butterfly's Death Shot," with its ornate fan-shaped design and graceful figure. It was just a pity it was in an anime/manga style.

Two images with completely different styles have been strangely merged together using special technology, creating an effect that is both eerie and perfectly harmonious.

Ellie and Walnut both looked at the picture with subtle expressions. Although the fusion was indeed amazing, they also understood one of the reasons why Flower Fruit Daily wasn't selling well. Besides the content, there must also be a problem with the art style...

That's right! This is the biggest topic of this episode: Wenwen is pregnant, cough cough. She's engaged, to a ghost from the Underworld's Hakugyokurou, Saigyouji Yuuka. Their union demonstrates a cross-species romance!

Because of this issue, Wenwen is not allowed to travel freely in the near future, and it is also a question whether the Wenwen Daily will cease publication in the future.

Should she stay at her post and be a qualified journalist, or should she fulfill her duties and be a good wife?

Stay tuned for the next issue of [Wenwen Daily]

I am Ji Haitangji, and I endorse [Huaguozi Daily].

……

"Wenwen, why are you back so soon..." Ji Haitang said disappointedly, looking at Wenwen who had stormed into her house in a huff. She had hoped to do a few more issues of [Wenwen Daily].

"Hime! Kai! Tang! Look what you've done!" A roar that echoed throughout the mountain of monsters resounded. Wenwen held the latest issue of the "Wenwen Daily" in her hand and placed it in front of Hime Kai! Tang, with a forced smile on her face.

"What's wrong?" Ji Haitang looked at the latest issue of the [Wenwen Daily] with appreciation. This was the first time he had revised the newspaper, and the first time he had not used his ability to automatically write the newspaper. It was a result of creating it according to his own ideas.

"I was taken away by the Great Tengu for two days, and I asked you to help me publish an issue of the [Wenwen Daily], how did it turn out like this! They even put ads in someone else's newspaper!" Pointing to a certain line of text, Wenwen said in distress. How could this be so unfair? They even put ads in their own newspaper.

"Uh, hahaha..." Ji Haitang turned her head away and chuckled awkwardly. She had only come up with this idea because her grades in the [Flower Fruit Daily] were too poor.

It's like an unknown writer advertising their book in the review section of a popular author's page; someone will inevitably see it...

If Ji Haitang had ever worked as a writer, he would know that this kind of advertising often has very little effect...

"I can tolerate the advertising, but why did the content change?!" This is what made Wenwen angry. She would never let someone else write it for her. She had already written the content, but she didn't have time to send it, so she asked Ji Haitang to write it for her. She didn't expect that even the content would change.

"How dare you say that!" Mentioning it also angered Ji Haitang, who opened a drawer and took out another handwritten manuscript: [Wenwen Daily].

"If I were to post this, I'd be doomed! This is definitely a premeditated trap!" She picked up the original manuscript of the "Wenwen Daily," which read, "[Seventeen-year-old and xxxxxx-month-old Zi's Mom Teaches You Beauty Techniques]..."

Ji Haitang was also conflicted. She wouldn't have been afraid to publish it on the topic alone, but there was a note in it that said, "This issue of the daily report was published by Ji Haitang on her behalf..."

If this gets discovered, I'm dead!

"But you can't just write whatever you want..." The moment the original manuscript was revealed, coupled with the location Ji Haitang pointed to, Wenwen's voice weakened slightly. She secretly harbored a plan to trick Ji Haitang; if it weren't for her meddling, she wouldn't have been forced into marriage so quickly...

I never expected Himekaido to be observing so intently in such a peculiar place… Her attempt to plot against someone backfired… She knows her newspaper's circulation better than anyone; now the whole of Gensokyo will know…

"Did I just write whatever came to mind? I don't make up lies~" Ji Haitang narrowed her eyes and revealed a fox-like smile. If she had to say what she was most proud of in her life, it would be the Youfeng incident last time, which was definitely better than Wenwen.

"..." Recalling the contents of the newspaper, Wenwen blushed slightly. Apart from the exaggerated descriptions, there was nothing false in it, making it difficult to even defend herself...

"Lord Ōtengu has made it clear that this matter must be conducted discreetly and cannot be leaked. Besides, the engagement hasn't taken place yet; who knows what unexpected events might occur?"

"Youfeng has returned from the other world, and the news of the engagement can be spread now. After all, this is a major event between my Youkai Mountain and Hakugyokurou and the Youkai Sage." A gust of wind blew past, and the Great Tengu Reiju Irin arrived at Himekai Tangji's house with an expectant smile on his face.

"Wenwen, come back with me first."

"Why?!!"

Chapter 346 Oh my god!

"Wenwen is actually getting married? Is this just another rumor?" Outside the Human Village, two ordinary humans were talking as they headed to their workplaces.

"Who knows how much of it is true or false?" one of them replied with a smile, not quite believing the contents. Wenwen was quite popular among some humans, and announcing her marriage would definitely have a significant impact.

A hundred years have passed since the monster expansion plan was implemented. Most humans still hold a wary and hateful view of monsters, but this has faded considerably over time.

Since accepting Kamitsugu Keine, some yokai have entered their daily lives, such as the "Aya Aya Daily," which has many subscribers even in the human village.

Although Ji Haitang's writing skills are not very good, she still managed to keep this issue of Wenwen Daily quite popular by adhering to the principles of gossip.

"...We...seem to have gone astray!" The surrounding fog thickened, and suddenly, one of them stopped and said to his companion, his voice trembling slightly.

"...The Magic Forest" The companions trembled involuntarily upon seeing their surroundings, and the passersby wore expressions of terror.

Just like humans, most monsters still see humans as food. However, there is a certain level of safety in the vicinity of human villages. People often go out to work, and as long as they don't do anything reckless, they are generally safe.

For example, venturing into a magical forest...
