Moe Girl Guardians

"Sign up!" Wu Feng excitedly said to the two of them. His long-held dream was about to come true, which made him feel like it was an illusion, hence his momentary hesitation.

The pink-haired Lolita nodded to Gaia and gradually floated up. Her fairytale-like eyes shone with a faint light. Beneath their feet, a red line radiating a ruby-like light danced continuously, forming a familiar magic circle.

An eight-pointed star magic array consisting of two layers, inner and outer.

Upon seeing the magic circle, Wu Feng glanced suspiciously at Gaia, the mature woman in the black dress. Was this really a contract circle or a spirit summoning circle?

Declare that you will become the world's agent.

To eradicate all evil deeds.

Drive out all invasions and plunder.

It is my duty to protect all things.

I am the origin of the world; if you follow my will, I will also be loyal to you.

"I do," Wu Feng replied without hesitation, despite the odd wording of the contract.

At the same time, a burning pain shot through his right hand. He hurriedly shook his hand to check, and a gorgeous, blood-red curse mark gradually became clear.

"Wow, isn't that a Command Seal from Fate?"

"I am Gaia, the world's will in the Type-Moon universe. Under my witness, the contract mark is naturally a Command Seal."

"...Never mind, when does the time travel start, and what's my cheat code?" Wu Feng looked expectantly at the mature woman in the black dress.

"You'll understand after you've been transported by cheat code. Before that, there's one last thing to prepare: choose a main world." After signing the contract, both the mature woman in the black dress and the little girl were clearly excited.

"The main world?"

"That's right. The world in which any creature is born is its own main world. In the main world, all creatures have an innate affinity for you +1, and you can exert 120% of your strength. However, when you go to other worlds, you will be suppressed and rejected by the local creatures. The higher the level of the world, the stronger the suppression. This is one of the reasons why those gods dare not come to the world in person. As the guardian of the world, you will naturally not be suppressed, but you will not be improved either. After discussion, we can add another main world for you, and the main world you choose is the world you are about to go to."

"I have no regrets about entering Touhou in this life, and I wish to be reborn in Gensokyo in the next. Is there even a need to choose?" Wu Feng didn't understand the concept of the main world, but if he could choose the world he was going to, then of course it would be Touhou Gensokyo.

The woman in the black dress darkened her face, clearly displeased with Wu Feng's decision. The World Guardian's main world would naturally be his permanent residence, and he would certainly take better care of his own world in the future.

"Tch, they didn't even choose my Type-Moon universe. All that kindness I showed you was for nothing."

"what?"

"No, then let's begin the journey. From now on, Sha will always be with you. She is the culmination of our many high-level worlds. There can only be one World Guardian, because it's impossible to create a second one."

The mature woman in the black dress stroked the little girl's head, looking quite reluctant.

Wu Feng felt his body growing weaker and weaker. After hearing the last sentence, he could no longer see anything and disappeared from the room. Just moments before, Lolisa had also turned into a ray of light and merged into Wu Feng's body.

"Finally, here's a piece of advice: Touhou Gensokyo is a truly special, high-level world, far more dangerous than you think. I hope you can survive as a human for as long as possible."

In the magical forest, it was the time of the rare new moon. The dim moonlight shone on the forest, giving it a silvery hue. In the forest, a dark mass was slowly moving.

The movement in the darkness was clumsy, frequently bumping into trees, rocks, and other obstacles, pausing for a moment before continuing forward.

As the new moon rose higher into the center, the darkness gradually dissipated, revealing a small figure. She was a cute little girl with shoulder-length, light golden hair tied with a red ribbon, beautiful ruby-like eyes, a black skirt over a white shirt, and two small red beads and a ribbon around her neck.

In the future Gensokyo, this little girl is a very famous being, a youkai who eats midnight snacks, Rumia.

Rumia wandered through the forest with a pained expression.

"Ugh, I'm so hungry! Rumia's starving! Rumia wants to eat!"

Ripples spread out in mid-air not far from Rumia, and a figure was thrown out from them, landing not far from Rumia.

"Have we arrived in Gensokyo? Where is this?" The figure was Wu Feng, who had just successfully transmigrated. While patting the dust off his body, Wu Feng looked around. When he turned his head, he saw Rumia wiping her drool, her red eyes staring intently at him.

“…Gaia, I curse #￥%&*%&@#￥（）――” After seeing who it was, Wu Feng couldn’t help but berate Gaia. Of all places, it had to be in front of Rumia, a man-eating monster with low friendliness towards humans and who was a midnight snack, and Rumia looked like she had been hungry for a long time.

Don't underestimate her just because she's a young girl. In Gensokyo, a world overflowing with combat power, even a little youkai could easily crush 100 Wu Fengs with no effort.

Rumia wiped her drool, and a cute, childlike voice came from her mouth.

"Big brother smells so good, can Rumia eat him?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be +1 favorability in the main world?! Why are you trying to eat me right off the bat?!" Wu Feng thought to himself.

"You have a crush on a fish, and you're starving, how can you not eat it?" A loli voice entered Wu Feng's mind.

"...What's going on?!" Wu Feng frantically asked in his mind, as if grasping at a straw. As an ordinary person from a low-level plane, his chances of survival against the starving Rumia were practically zero.

"It's very simple. If you don't choose the location to be teleported to Gensokyo, it's random. Whether you survive or not is entirely up to luck, or it would be better to teleport you into a gap?"

Wu Feng was silent for a moment and suddenly thought, "Damn, it seems that Gensokyo is less than a handful of safe places for me. I'm going to die no matter how I go there!"

"My dearest Sha, you're not just going to watch me die, are you? If I die right after signing the contract, what's the point of signing?"

"Hmph, for staring at Gaia and flattering her just now, I'm not helping you."

“…From now on, your word is law. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west.” Wu Feng thought to himself, feeling wronged. But for the sake of survival, it was better to go along with it. In the face of danger, integrity was indeed just a passing cloud.

"Alright, actually, as the first world, I can't offer any help. You have to complete the trials in this world yourself. Only when you reach a certain level of strength will you be qualified to travel through it again. I was just teasing you earlier."

"...Holy crap, what about my cheat code?" Pink-haired people are all black after all. Now Wu Feng can only hope for the legendary cheat code.

"The World Achievement System has been integrated, but it hasn't been activated yet. Currently, I have no power. Ugh~ I'm a little sleepy, going to sleep~~"

...As expected, the World Guardian thing is a trap. Maybe the legendary God's Egg would be better? At least it would give something, Wu Feng thought.

In a short while, Rumia was standing in front of Wu Feng and took a bite. Her seemingly childish teeth displayed a completely opposite biting force, and instantly a piece of flesh was gone from Wu Feng's shoulder.

"Ah!" The pain instantly spread throughout his body, causing Wu Feng to cry out.

From the moment Rumia stood in front of him, Wu Feng knew there was no hope of escape. Even moving a single step was extremely difficult, let alone running away.

Wu Feng smiled bitterly. "Well, at least I came to Touhou Gensokyo once, and I even died at the hands of a Touhou girl. It's not such an unjust death..."

"Gaia, I will remember you for the rest of my life after I die..."

Bright red blood flowed from the corner of Rumia's mouth, her lovely face filled with satisfaction.

The persistent pain and excessive blood loss weakened Wu Feng's consciousness, leading him toward death. Finally, after his entire arm disappeared, Wu Feng lost consciousness and died. The End.

Well, it's impossible to finish the whole book, but Wu Feng is indeed dead. At the moment of his death, a stream of information awakened within his body.

Chapter Five: The Majestic Ferryman

"Where...am I?" As his hazy consciousness gradually cleared, a boy opened his eyes on the desolate land, looking around at his surroundings in confusion.

"Where am I? Who am I?" The boy covered his forehead with one hand, trying to remember something, but he couldn't remember anything. He couldn't remember who he was, what his name was, or where he was.

Unable to recall anything after several attempts, the boy began to observe his surroundings.

Behind him stretched a vast, desolate land, seemingly endless, while ahead lay an unbroken expanse of azure water. The banks of the river were covered with fiery red flowers, like a carpet woven from blood, tempting the boy to reach out and pick them.

A light mist floated on the river, swirling and obscuring the view.

The boy stood there somewhat bewildered, unsure of what to do. The desolate place and his lack of memories left him feeling helpless.

During his period of confusion, a boat and a figure gradually appeared on the misty river, approaching the shore.

With her long, fiery red hair tied in two small braids, wearing a white and blue dress, thick-soled wooden clogs, and wielding an extremely large scythe, she exuded an aura of majesty.

If Wu Feng hadn't lost his memory, he would have called out her name immediately: Onozuka Komachi, the ferryman on the Sanzu River.

"Is there only one undead this time?" The words sounded very authoritative and carried a strong sense of oppression, which made Wu Feng somewhat worried about what would happen to him next.

"Give me all your money, and I'll help you cross the river."

"I don't seem to have any money," Wu Feng said, shrugging his hands as he touched his pockets, which were even emptier than his face. From the moment the girl appeared, Wu Feng had a feeling that he was already dead, and after the girl spoke, he confirmed that he was a ghost.

"Huh! You can actually talk!" Onozuka Komachi stared at Wu Feng with wide, curious eyes. The dead generally don't speak, their consciousness is often unclear; only yokai or humans with a certain level of cultivation can maintain consciousness and speak. Encountering a talking dead is rare.

"Um, is it strange that I can talk?"

"Hmm, that's strange. You seem to have the scent of death on you. Oh well, I'm in a good mood today, and since you don't seem to be burdened by any karmic debts, I'll give you a free ride. Get on board." Onozuka Komachi thought for a moment, then made room for Wu Feng to board the ship.

Along the way, Wu Feng discovered that the woman was very talkative and kept talking almost non-stop.

"What's your name?"

"I don't remember," Wu Feng shook his head, indicating that he didn't remember anything.

"Amnesia? It's possible to lose your memory after death. Why are you penniless? You'll have money after you die if people pay their respects. Don't you have any relatives or friends burning paper money for you?"

Wu Feng shook his head again, but a vein popped out on his forehead. How could he know if he had amnesia?

"So how did you die?"

Just as Wu Feng was about to say he didn't remember, a vague feeling welled up in his mind, and he immediately changed the subject.

"He was tricked to death," Wu Feng insisted.

"Didn't you have amnesia? How would you know?"

Damn it, you know I have amnesia and you still ask... Wu Feng angrily flipped over the coffee table in his heart.

"I've definitely been scammed, that's what my brain is telling me."

Of course, there are also many useful things, such as the place they are about to go to, which is Hell, where the highest judge of Paradise resides.

"Lord Shiki, I have brought a new spirit." After a journey of several hours, Onozuka Komachi brought Wu Feng to a building.

Before she finished speaking, a repentance stick landed on Onozuka Komachi's head with a crisp cracking sound, followed by a long lecture.

"Komachi, are you slacking off again? Transporting the dead isn't your job. Do you know how important the ferry work on the Sanzu River is? It could very well cause a lot of dead souls to be unable to reincarnate in time. Last time, it was because of your laziness that the dead ended up lodging in the flowers, causing a lot of trouble and taking a long time to resolve. Haven't you learned your lesson yet...?"

Onozuka Komachi's reaction instantly melted Wu Feng's heart. His once-imposing dignity vanished like a shred of decency, and he became utterly adorable. His eyes welled with tears as he looked at the girl holding the repentance stick, his little hands covering the spot where he had been hit, and he said pitifully...
