Moe Girl Guardians

"...It's nothing. I heard he brought back quite a few girls again this time, and it's during this crucial period before the wedding ceremony. Youfeng, aren't you afraid something might happen? Be careful you don't get hacked to pieces at the wedding ceremony."

"I once saw a book from outside that described a similar situation: multiple affairs, and what happened next..."

"His head was chopped off?"

"It seems to be one of the endings; there are more than a dozen other endings involving different ways to die."

With her eyes darting around, Komachi said with a smile.

"What book are you reading...?"

Yufeng, unable to contain his confusion, remembered that Komachi had previously read a book about a male protagonist who cheated on his girlfriend and was dismembered, with the female protagonist receiving a part of his body. Now, there was another book about a male protagonist dying in N different ways? Where did all this stuff come from?!

Is the outside world that developed now?

Besides, those are just in books, how could their Lumia possibly...

and many more!

Rumia... Wenwen, Altrouge, and Lia would never do such a thing!

"What's wrong, Youfeng? You don't look too good."

Who do you think is to blame?

Staring at Komachi, Yuuka said irritably, "Thanks to her, I've been thinking about some other things that are bothering me. Aya, Altrouge, and Lia all have stable personalities, so if something unexpected happens, it won't be too bad."

Rumia...

This is the most perplexing part.

Knowing about Lia had already filled him with a bellyful of corrosive darkness, and now knowing about Jeanne... seemed a bit dangerous? Cutting himself off wasn't out of the question.

"It's my fault~"

"Well... after all, I'm a little unhappy to see you getting married, Yufeng."

"I'm not happy..."

"Seven hundred years ago... I was clearly the first person to meet you, but unexpectedly... you chose Wenwen and Rumia, even women from other worlds were ranked ahead of me. How could I possibly be happy to see you get married?"

"Komachi, one use of this kind of joke is enough."

Listening to Komachi's words, Yuuka remained calm. After all, it wasn't the first time Komachi had said this, so he felt no pressure at all.

"I see... Youfeng, you always thought I was joking..."

"..."

Just as Yuuka was about to say something, she looked at Komachi, her voice suddenly stopped, her long crimson hair fell naturally, her tall body trembled slightly, and there were even faint watermarks on the edges of her cheeks.

Wait, what Komachi just said...

It must be a joke, right?

I'd said something similar to him twice before, back at the River of Three Crossings, so it shouldn't be... but...

The wind, its thoughts somewhat disorganized, struggles to make a judgment on things it is quite certain of.

"...Komachi...!!"

As Yuuka sorted out the current situation, Komachi was about 70% sure she was joking, but the remaining 30%...

Before he could finish thinking, the crimson figure suddenly embraced him, causing Youfeng's body to stiffen instantly.

…………

…………

"Yes, yes, that's exactly the reaction! You're so cute, Yufeng~"

With a soft click, Komachi, who had been looking dejected, suddenly laughed and put her hand on Yuuka's shoulder.

P.S.: Although it's a bit late, I still wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Chapter 1404 The Mysterious Komachi

"Yes, yes, that's exactly the reaction! You're so cute, Yufeng~"

As Yuuka pondered whether Komachi's words were true or false, the red-haired twin-tailed girl who had been clinging to him suddenly rang in his ears, and their bodies, which had been touching at zero distance, separated at the same time.

In my field of vision, Komachi's sad expression was gone, replaced only by a joyful smile.

"Little! Machi!"

Yu Feng, a dark line appearing on his forehead, was astonished that he had actually believed it... Just a moment ago, when Yu Feng pounced on him, he actually had the urge to believe it, even though it wasn't the first time he had been tricked!

"Relax, I was just kidding, I was just giving you a heads-up."

With one hand on Yuuka's shoulder, Komachi smiled and said, but deep in her eyes was a hint of something unusual that was hard to detect.

"..."

"Don't worry about it. Think about it... what if what I just said is true?"

Seeing Yuuka's conflicted expression, Komachi leaned close to her ear, a smile playing on her lips, and said 'comfortingly'.

"Should I thank you for not actually confessing?"

Listening to Komachi's words, Yuuka's lips twitched slightly. From this perspective... being teased was actually not a bad ending? If what Komachi said was true, then he would be conflicted, but... something just felt off.

Glancing at Komachi, Yuuka said irritably.

"Given the current situation, it's only a matter of time."

"what?"

"Mokou and Kaguya from 'The Lost Bamboo Forest,' I remember they were competing with Aya and Rumia for your attention, weren't they? They even put on a big event back then, hosted by Yuyuko-sama."

Looking at Yuuka, Komachi said with a serious expression that she was not joking. Yuuka's official marriage would not be smooth sailing. Mokou and Kaguya from the Lost Bamboo Forest might interfere, as they had openly competed with each other in the past.

"...Probably not."

A subtle breeze stirs within him; Kaguya and Mokou have a good relationship with him, but to say it's an obstacle to marriage or confessions...

The probability isn't very high?

"And there's Yuuka Kazami in the sunflower field. For a while, those wedding photos that were all the rage in Gensokyo were taken with you, Yuuka, right?"

"..."

"How many years ago was it? Ji Haitang, or someone else, published a daily newspaper."

"The content is that the youkai sage Yakumo Yukari was at the Hakurei Shrine, holding a child who looks extremely similar to you, Yuuka. It's said that the child was born from the two of you?"

"It's all just a rumor!!"

Yuuka, I don't know how to put it. Compared to Kaguya and Mokou, those two are really just rumors. Yuuka that time... she made a bet with him that if she could beat him at the same level, she would wear a wedding dress to show him. Under her power, she actually won!

That time with Yukari Yakumo...

It's a complete smear campaign!

The source was the anti-aging drug obtained from the Soft and Fluffy Shop. First, Yakumo Yukari accidentally ingested it, and then she forced herself to take it. That's roughly how it happened.

None of these are true; they are all rumors!

"Well... anyway, there are plenty of similar messages. In my estimation, Youfeng, you'll receive a similar confession sooner or later before your wedding, so I'm giving you a heads-up so you won't be caught off guard."

With her arms crossed, Komachi spoke earnestly.

"Thank you..."

Yufeng, unsure how to respond, said helplessly, "Is Komachi just bored lately... that she came all this way to tease me?"

That being said...

When Komachi hugged me just now, I think I heard a familiar voice?

"Komachi!!"

As Youfeng was pondering, a familiar voice rang out, forcibly diverting his attention. It was...

"!!"

But before Yuuki could finish his thought, Komachi had already grabbed him and, with lightning speed, shrunk into the kotatsu. The kotatsu was small enough for four people to fit just their legs in, but when the whole person came in…

Both of them were extremely strained!

Yuuka and Komachi, who were almost pressed together, were even more tense than before, even though they weren't in direct contact.

face-to-face posture

Yuufu could even sense Komachi's breathing.

【四季】

Do not move or make a sound.

With their mouths less than two fingers apart, Komachi opened her mouth, but though she didn't utter a sound, her meaning was already conveyed to Yuuka's mind.

"..."

Can we hide it from them...? The power of a god cannot be escaped by simply hiding in a kotatsu.

He wanted to ask, but after thinking for a moment, Yufeng decided to give up... It was too close. He and Komachi were too close. Their lips could even touch each other if they opened their mouths at the same time.

【Yufeng, what do you think Lord Shiki will do if he discovers us?】

Seemingly sensing Yuuki's thoughts, Komachi continued silently.

"???"

With a question mark above her head, Yuuki wondered, "Does Komachi know that she can't hide this from Shiki-sama... So what is her purpose?"

[Lord Shiki is very innocent]

[If you linger a little longer, they will naturally leave.]

"..."

Seeing Komachi's lip movements, Yuuka instantly understood her thoughts. What were a man and a woman doing in the cramped kotatsu? Komachi was safe, but as for himself... well, he didn't have much of a reputation to speak of anyway...

Time passed
