Moe Girl Guardians

There are a full two hundred steps here, which seems a bit too high for a stone staircase located in the city center.

The Seven Kingdoms Shrine is located on a high platform after climbing the stone steps.

Although the surrounding trees are not as dense as the forest guarded by the shrine, the shrine surrounded by lush greenery brings a sense of peace.

Not far from the front hall within the territory, there is a single-story community office.

A young girl knelt on the ground, her eyes closed in deep thought. She wore a white top and a green kimono skirt, a typical shrine maiden outfit. Her long, flowing hair, reaching her shoulders, was a deep brown. Her delicate and composed face embodied the beauty of a Japanese girl with a distinctly Japanese style.

"I am Amakasu Touma, the shrine maiden of Musashino. I need your assistance with some matters."

This was the first thing a middle-aged man dressed in office clothes said to her the day before. Surprisingly, he was actually a representative of the official history compilation committee.

"A special guest will be visiting the Seven Kingdoms Shrine tomorrow, and we hope you will personally deliver this item to him."

What was handed to the girl was an ID card with Saigyouji Yuuka written on it, not any name she knew. As a shrine maiden, she naturally didn't have the habit of watching anime.

Since the guests had already been notified, the young girl had no choice but to comply. The shrine maidens of Musashino also had the task of assisting the official history compilation committee.

"If you, with your spiritual vision, make any special discoveries, you may contact me, but please remember never to offend this guest," Amakasu Touma said meaningfully.

"One more thing, the other party's personality is a bit strange, and there's a possibility that they might not come. Regardless of the outcome, don't tell anyone about what happened today."

The message has been delivered; we are now just waiting for their arrival.

The girl stood up and strolled out of the office of the Seven Kingdoms Shrine, preparing tea and refreshments for the guests to arrive.

On the other side, Wu Feng left the apartment and headed towards the Seven Heroes Shrine. Not long after, a luxury sports car passed by. Without paying special attention, he only noticed a bodyguard and a silver-haired girl in the car. For some reason, the silver-haired girl gave Wu Feng a very familiar feeling.

The silver-haired girl also caught a glimpse of Wu Feng through the window for only a moment. A hint of doubt flashed in her emerald eyes. "He looks so familiar." She then turned her head away and continued looking at the tablet in her hand, which was playing an anime that Wu Feng loathed: The Hakugyokurou no Toshiro ~Saigyouji Yuuko's Growth Diary.

As she stared at the flickering screen on the tablet, the silver-haired girl's expression grew increasingly strange.

After a journey of almost an hour, Wu Feng finally arrived at the stone steps of the Seven Heroes Shrine. The seemingly endless stone steps reminded him of the Heavenly Ladder of the White Jade Pavilion, but it was far inferior. That one was truly exhausting!

Upon entering the Seven Heroes Shrine, everything had been arranged. Under the supervision of designated personnel, Wu Feng walked straight into the office. The surrounding environment felt increasingly familiar to him.

Upon entering the office, one sees the brown-haired girl bowing in greeting.

Most importantly, Wu Feng was very familiar with this person... the shrine maiden Mariya Yuri, who possessed spiritual vision, the Seven Heroes Shrine... wasn't that the place she stayed? He had actually forgotten.

“Welcome, Lady Saigyouji Yuuka. I am Yuri Mariya, the shrine maiden of this shrine. Mr. Amakasu Touma has already told you about your matter. Please enjoy your tea and refreshments and wait a moment while your food is served,” Yuri Mariya said very respectfully.

The person who came looked to be a handsome young man of similar age to her, which surprised Yuri, but she still performed the appropriate etiquette.

The boy felt somewhat familiar to her, like the demon king in that nightmare many years ago. She had memories of the current king, and no new king had appeared recently, which made her dismiss the idea.

But what other identity besides that of a king would warrant the personal statement of a representative of the official history compilation committee?

"Um, no need to be so formal, I'm just here to pick something up and leave." What an awkward feeling! He came in and saw a young woman bowing respectfully; her tone was so awkward! Wu Feng began to regret coming to get his documents in person. Waiting another day would have been better!

(Hmm, I've completely used up all my drafts for today. How many chapters I update tomorrow depends on how good my writing is tonight~~ Your votes will give me even more motivation!)

Chapter Ninety-Five: Enrollment

"Miss Mariya, what is your impression of this guest?" On the night Wu Feng went to the Seven Kingdoms Shrine, Amakasu Touma came here again to meet Mariya Yuri, and asked with a familiar smile and squinted eyes.

“He’s a very easy-going person, not at all as strange as Mr. Amakasu described,” Yuri replied in a calm tone, recalling Wu Feng’s behavior during the day.

At first, I thought he was from some big family, and that he might be arrogant and rude, or have dirty habits. I was even prepared to threaten him with death. But when I met him, I found that he was an easy-going boy, which calmed me down a lot and improved my first impression of him.

"Did you notice anything unusual?"

"...If we're talking about something special, it's just that his appearance is too unusual." If it weren't for the gender indicated on his ID, Yuri really wouldn't be able to determine the other person's gender. Well, I guess Wu Feng's clothes that day were unusual again...

Amakasu Touma's face twitched slightly. This treatment felt different; was it gender discrimination? However, this shrine maiden was not only proficient in spiritual vision, but her appearance was also among the best in Takayama City. Coupled with the shrine maiden's aura, it was no wonder that the king would treat her specially.

"Are there any other places besides these?"

"There's one more thing, but I can't be sure. The moment we met, I felt a sense of royalty about him, though that feeling quickly disappeared." After a moment's hesitation, Yuri said uncertainly. After all, there are only seven kings in the entire world, and deep down she didn't want to believe that he was a cruel king. In her mind, a king was the epitome of ferocity and terror; the title of Demon King was truly well-deserved.

Receiving a satisfactory answer put Amakasu Touma at ease. The spirit-seeing shrine maiden who had left a deep impression on the king in her childhood was enough to prove her identity. He bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your help, Miss Mariya. I will take my leave now. Please inform me if there is any news about that guest."

"Mr. Amakasu, what exactly is the identity of that guest, Saigyouji Yuuka?" Before Amakasu Touma left, Yuri asked the question that had been buried in her heart the most. The person who could get the official history compilation committee to come must not be a simple person, but he was not among the famous figures of the major families.

“I’m sorry, Miss Mariya, I cannot reveal his identity without permission. If you want to know, you should ask him yourself,” Amakasu Touma replied with an apologetic smile, and then walked out of the shrine.

“The secluded wind of Saigyouji Temple, huh?” Yuri murmured softly.

First year of high school at Chengnan Private Academy

"Hey everyone, quiet down. We have a new transfer student today," the homeroom teacher said to the students from the podium, adjusting his glasses.

The sound drew the attention of the whole class. A commotion arose as all the students chatted amongst themselves and looked toward the podium.

"Hey, Godou, have you heard about the transfer student? It seems like they just suddenly arrived," asked Miura, Godou's friend, patting him on the shoulder as he sat to his left.

"Never heard of it. Well, it won't have any impact anyway," Kusanagi Godou replied, tidying up the books he would use for the next class, showing no concern whatsoever.

"I wish it were a girl."

What's the difference?

"...Godo, is your gender preference normal?"

Come in.

After the homeroom teacher's announcement, a figure appeared that completely surprised Kusanagi Godou: delicate features, a handsome face, and dashing short black hair, dressed in the standard male uniform of the private Joukan Academy. The word "androgynous beauty" immediately came to mind.

"Good morning, my name is Saigyouji Yuuka, and I'll be your classmate from now on."

A friend he met by chance suddenly appeared at school! This almost made him stand up from his seat.

Just to be on the safe side, let me clarify first: I am male, and my preference is for women.

Wu Feng's answer made a small number of boys in the class sigh, while a large number of girls' eyes lit up. At first glance, many of them actually thought she was a beautiful woman dressed as a man, but their illusions were shattered.

Upon hearing this introduction, Kusanagi Godou's expression twitched. He recalled that when he first met Kusanagi Godou, Kusanagi Godou was dressed casually. Even though he had traveled to various countries with his grandfather and met many women, and had gained some understanding of women through his surroundings, Kusanagi Godou almost didn't recognize him. No wonder Kusanagi Godou had deliberately reminded him.

"Let me see, the seat in front of Kusanagi Godou is still empty, Saigyouji, you can sit there," the homeroom teacher said, glancing at the seats in the classroom and pointing to an empty seat.

After greeting Kusanagi Godou and taking his seat, Wu Feng felt a pang of nostalgia. Perhaps due to time constraints, Kusanagi Godou was still sitting in the last seat of the window row, so his own seat was the second-to-last by the window—the legendary protagonist's seat… Had he finally become the protagonist after sitting there for over a decade?

"Youfeng, how did you transfer to our school? And didn't you say your name was Wu Feng before?" Kusanagi Godou asked from behind as soon as Wu Feng sat down.

"Isn't that normal? Don't humans all have more than one name?" Wu Feng replied casually.

...That's common sense from some other world!

After a brief self-introduction, the bell rang for class. Wu Feng realized that he really couldn't be bothered to listen to the high school classes. It was his own fault. When he wasn't in class, he missed going to school, but once he got to school, he just wanted to stay home and watch anime... He really should have come a few months later! Or maybe it would have been better if he hadn't come at all!

Bored, I lay sprawled on the table, feeling a bit down thinking about what happened a few days ago.

On the day he went to the Shichio Shrine, he met Yuri Mariya, but the other woman's overly respectful attitude was really unbearable for him, and the scene was too awkward! He left with his things after only a few words.

The impression you left on the other person is already irrelevant!

Before leaving, Yuri told Wu Feng that Amakasu Touma would be back that night, and that he could contact him if anything happened.

After hearing this, Wu Feng said he really wanted to give the middle finger to the sky. If you could have come back that day, why didn't you come to deliver it that night? You wouldn't have encountered this awkward situation.

It was definitely intentional!

Then, he decisively called Amakasu Touma, as a way of retaliating against the other party for messing with him, and demanded that he complete the enrollment procedures for the private Joukan Academy as soon as possible, or else he would be in trouble.

Although the other party agreed readily, something about it sounded off to Wu Feng. There was a hint of lewdness in their tone, and they even added at the end that they understood and would process the enrollment procedures as soon as possible, which was quite puzzling. (You all know what I mean →_→ I won't say any more~)

However, the process was very efficient; I received my admission notice the very next day.

Then... Wu Feng regretted it. Could I drop out of school and go back to being a shut-in...? (The number one vote-getter and number one fan actually appeared at the same time. I guess I'll have to update twice today! Maybe there will be a surprise triple update~)

Chapter Ninety-Six: First Love?

“Studying in Japan is such a painful thing… I really shouldn’t have enrolled! I really want to go back to China!” On his way to school early in the morning, Wu Feng complained to Kusanagi Godou with a tired expression.

With the idea of ​​skipping class for a day, Wu Feng stayed up all night watching A Certain Scientific Railgun. Unexpectedly, he was sound asleep this morning when he was woken up by a series of knocks on the door. He had been called out of his house...

A week after starting school, Wu Feng had gotten to know his classmates, and at least the strange looks stopped appearing. Then, a big problem with Wu Feng was exposed.

Being late! This is not a problem at White Emperor Academy. No one cares whether you go or not, as long as you pass the test, so it doesn't matter what time you go.

In addition, having lived in Hakugyokurou for so long, she's picked up some of Yuyuko's habits, like being a glutton and a sleepyhead. Aren't the dead supposed to sleep during the day? (Wait, aren't vampires the ones who sleep during the day?)

As a result, aside from arriving on time on the first day of class, he was on time zero times throughout the week... Under such a domineering attitude, the teacher simply pretended not to notice, which was fine until someone sitting behind him couldn't stand it anymore and started calling him every day on his way...

According to the typical visual novel route, shouldn't it be a cute girl or childhood friend? I'm not playing a reverse-harem game...

Because of the location he deliberately chose, Wu Feng's apartment wasn't far from Kusanagi Godou's house, which essentially dug a huge grave for himself...

"Is the class system different in China?" Kusanagi Godou asked heartlessly, looking at his friend who was dragging his heavy steps and looked like he was about to die of sleep.

"It's just that my school is a bit special. Nobody cares what time you go to class. As long as you pass the exam, it's okay if you don't go. You can play games, read comics, or read novels in class. You can do whatever you want as long as you don't disturb others." Compared to that, White Emperor Academy feels like paradise...

"I can't believe there's such a school! I really want to go and see it too!" As Wu Feng described it, even Kusanagi Godou became more and more interested.

"Brother, please face reality. This is not the Celestial Empire. The right path is to study hard and get a good job. Maybe there's still hope of going to the Celestial Empire." A clear and earnest voice came from beside Kusanagi Godou. Wu Feng could also hear a hint of expectation in her voice.

The speaker was a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old, with shoulder-length black hair and a bun hairstyle typical of China, which gave her a very cute appearance at first glance.

Accompanying them was Kusanagi Godou's younger sister, Kusanagi Shizuka, who knew Wu Feng, though not particularly well. The few times Wu Feng had seen her, it was always Kusanagi Godou being completely overwhelmed...

"Uh..." As expected, Kusanagi Godou immediately wilted after Shizuka's lecture. Actually, this guy is a siscon, isn't he?

As soon as Wu Feng arrived at the school gate, he noticed something unusual. Was there always this many people at the school in the morning? Inside the school gate, a large crowd had gathered. Following their gaze, an exceptionally luxurious sports car came into view, and Wu Feng recognized the car as one he had seen before.

The car I saw when I visited Shichio Shrine a week ago. I didn't look at it closely then, but now I realize it's a Lamborghini, one of the most prestigious sports cars of this century. Anyone who can afford one is definitely not an ordinary person.

A questioning look was cast at Godou, which earned the answer he wanted.

"It's the princess from the Lian family. No wonder there are so many people," Hu Tang explained to Wu Feng, noticing the obvious marks on the sports car.

"Liancheng Temple Moon is very famous in our private Chengnan Academy. She is a well-known beauty. Because of poor health, she rarely comes to school. Every time she comes, she causes a sensation. She is two years older than us and is a third-year senior."

"Little master, look! It's your first love!" Just as Kusanagi Godou finished explaining, Sa's surprised voice echoed in his mind.

First love? Does such a thing exist? Even though he's over four hundred years old, he's still a key member of the FFF group... What first love could he possibly have!

Before they could exchange more than a few words, a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old stepped out of the car. Her brilliant silver hair was as smooth as silk, without a single wrinkle. Her delicate and dignified face also carried a touch of lively charm. Her curvaceous figure made her a true beauty, no less so than Wanli Gu Yuri. However, the moment she stepped out, Wu Feng's face darkened instantly.

Holy crap, this isn't right. It really is his first love, no, his first sexual partner, that's not right either...

Liancheng Temple Moon? Isn't that Feng Biying?! The moment Wu Feng saw the girl, he remembered the first transmigrator he encountered in Gensokyo—Feng Biying, disguised as a boy, who revealed her true form when she escaped, and was exactly the same as the person before him. Thanks to her, he received two titles: [First Love Transmigrator] and [First Dry Transmigrator]...

He subconsciously took two steps back and walked behind Kusanagi Godou. Although he had changed his clothes, he couldn't guarantee that the other party wouldn't recognize him.
