Inuyasha: A Different Kind of Dog General

Douya narrowed his eyes, rubbing his knuckles lightly against the hilt of his sword, measuring the fighting power of both sides.

If he really took action, he, who could also devour space, would be confident that he could cut a gap for her, but... could he keep her completely?

What’s more troublesome is that the opponent is a top-notch expert with no burden.

There are no weaknesses, no concerns, and nothing that must be protected.

This kind of person is like a man who has only the way home left in his life, but was falsely accused and unjustly imprisoned and released!

If things really got to bad blood, Yakumo Yukari could turn the table over without a second thought, but he would have to consider the safety of all the dog demons in the Western Country.

Most importantly, are they hostile to each other, or do they have conflicts of interest?

After thinking about this, Toya stared at Yakumo Yukari, who always had a smile on her face, and called the waiter.

As the tea was served, Douya said directly, "Sir, please speak directly. There is no need to beat around the bush."

Yakumo Yukari looked at Inu no Taisho, whose hostility had greatly decreased, and she did not let her guard down.

This guy is just like her, a despicable guy who only cares about results.

The knife that ambushed and killed the Great Ghost Lord is still vivid in my mind.

Even I was mistaken at that time and did not notice that Dou Ya was hiding in the dark.

If she gets stabbed accidentally, she will also have a headache.

As Yakumo Yukari's eyes flickered, her fingertips lightly touched her slightly parted red lips and she sighed.

"What an unromantic man! You're not even willing to spend a few more words with me?"

Douya's brows twitched, and he replied calmly, "Your Excellency the Sage is a great senior in the demon world. Why say such ambiguous words that could lead to misunderstandings?"

"Senior?!"

Yakumo Yukari suddenly straightened up, her eyes narrowed dangerously, and the smile on her face faded as she looked at the creature in front of her, who was not even a fraction of her age...

Well, it was the dog demon who was a little bit smaller than her, with a fake smile on his face.

"I'm curious, how did you win the hearts of those girls with just your mouth? Especially that...high-ranking miko."

"Why did you mention Cuizi?"

"Is Yakumo Yukari planning to build Gensokyo now?"

"Gensokyo's Great Barrier needs Tsuiko's help? But Tsuiko can only chop, chop, chop!"

Dou Ya was pondering in his heart, but he remained calm when he heard the words. His silver hair shone faintly in the moonlight, and he responded calmly.

"There's no way. He's good-looking, has decent skills, and a high status. It would be strange if he wasn't popular with young girls, right?"

"Ah."

Yakumo Yukari chuckled softly, her good mood was ruined by Douya's constant mention of "age".

Her eyes reflected the serious expression of Inu Daisho, and she was 100% sure that if this man's heart was cut open, it would be filled with black inside.

Fortunately, she is also black.

Yakumo Yukari glanced at Touga and took in the letter written to the miko on the table.

"Since King Douya feels that a young girl is more to his liking than an older sister... then I will not stay any longer."

Looking at Yakumo Yukari who stood up quickly, opened the gap and was about to leave, Touga was confused and didn't understand why she came here.

He asked tentatively, "If it is convenient, could Your Excellency the Sage take this letter to Cuizi in the Kingdom of Senluo?"

A meaningful chuckle came from the gap, "Oh my, you were calling me senior before, but now you're ordering me around without any hesitation~"

Purple-gold eyes loomed in the darkness, "But..."

She raised her hand, and the letter floated into the gap. "Just think of it as a special care for the young generation."

As the gap slowly closed, a voice as sweet as honey and yet threatening as well floated out, "Next time we meet, please think carefully about how to address me~"

"Also, I'll secretly tell you a piece of good news—the great Tengu who came with me care most about their own interests."

Dou Ya looked at the gap that was gradually closing and fell into deep thought for a long time.

Silence returned to the study, with only the unfinished tea still emitting wisps of steam.

With the help of foresight, I roughly guessed the purpose of Yakumo Yukari's visit.

The establishment of Gensokyo was not smooth sailing. Even as powerful as the Youkai Sage, there were still monsters in the world who could compete with him or even be stronger than him.

"There's also the news about Yakumo Yukari throwing the Sky Murakumo Sword during the previous fight between my father-in-law and the Oyakata, and now he's naming the bottom line of his fellow Daitengu..."

Douya pondered in confusion, "This woman has repeatedly helped us. Is she trying to pull the dog tribe into the chariot?"

"Wait a minute, I have to put aside all my subjective thoughts and determine what Yakumo Yukari really wants."

Infer the reasons based on the results.

In the original plot, all of Yakumo Yukari's actions are based on the growth of Gensokyo.

Or in other words, how can the monster community survive in the long run?

Her major events can be broadly divided into three categories.

First, the first lunar expedition - a deterrent strategy that mixed the real and the virtual.

On the surface, the purpose was to plunder the Moon People's [Eternal Energy Technology], but in reality, the purpose was to prove two things to the monsters on the ground through defeat.

First, the external threat far exceeds traditional cognition. It is no longer a competition of the strength of the demonic power, but a technological weapon that is incomprehensible.

Second, if the scattered monster forces do not want to be destroyed, they must unite with each other.

The combat method is that Yakumo Yukari uses the power of realm and the reflection of the lake to open a channel to the moon, bypassing the conventional laws of space.

Although he encountered countermeasures from the two current Moon Princesses, he successfully obtained some Moon technology samples, which were later used to improve the barrier of Gensokyo.

This defeat gave rise to the prototype of the [Anti-Moon Alliance] and accelerated the movement of underground, Youkai Mountain and other forces towards Yakumo Yukari.

Lay an indestructible foundation of unity for Gensokyo, the land of gods.

Second, the construction of the Hakurei Great Barrier - a game of survival to reverse the Dharma-Ending Age.

As human civilization entered modern times, the laws of physics gradually excluded the existence of monsters.

They are no longer afraid of darkness, and the light of science has dispelled the fog of mystery.

The monsters who once relied on fear to survive are gradually being forgotten by the world.

And Yakumo Yukari is worthy of the title of monster sage, and she foresees the crisis of the [Faith Decline Period].

It is proposed to separate Gensokyo from the outside world into a "dual world inside and outside" and reconstruct the ecological rules with the power of the realm.

The plan was strongly opposed by various forces, especially the Old Hell faction, who believed that the barrier symbolized retreat rather than coexistence.

Yakumo Yukari joins forces with Tengu and other forces to suppress dissidents by force, and promises to preserve human villages within the barrier as bait for the survival of monsters.

The Great Barrier is not just a barrier, but through the [reversal of common sense and uncommon sense], it renders the scientific laws of the outside world invalid within the barrier.

This move laid the foundation for Gensokyo as a [supernatural ecosystem], forcing monsters to adapt to the faith-grabbing model under the new order.

Third, the monster survival plan - self-survival in the iteration of civilization.

The human population explosion in the 20th century led to the dilution of [fear resources].

The traditional survival model of intimidating and killing humans in order to gain their fear is unsustainable.

Monsters transformed from animals, or monsters that are not created by human imagination, do not care about the collection of [fear].

But the human population is increasing day by day, and the spiritual energy of the natural environment is rapidly decreasing.

The latter, in particular, oppresses the monsters and forces them to choose another way of survival.

In order to maintain the balance of power between humans and monsters, Yakumo Yukari induced the new religion of Iruma no Sato to worship small gods.

He actively searches for endangered monsters through gaps, tacitly allows Kappa Heavy Industries to research external technology, but uses realm techniques to limit its spread.

This plan essentially violates the original intention of the barrier [isolation], resulting in the continuous infiltration of external intelligence, such as the influx of smartphones.

Yakumo Yukari adopted the [controlled pollution] strategy, believing that moderate stimulation could maintain the evolutionary pressure of the monster population.

At the same time, the increasingly powerful Gensokyo will also attract the entry of powerful outsiders.

As a result, the stronger humans become, the more monsters are forced to enter Gensokyo in order to survive, making Gensokyo stronger and forming a dynamic balance.

"So, Yakumo Yukari is not a guardian of monsters, but an observer whose goal is to preserve civilization."

Survival is above morality, and sacrificing some individuals in exchange for the continuation of the ethnic group is allowed.

Evolution is better than stagnation. Actively introduce variables and force monsters to adapt.

Balance means control, and the supply and demand of fear between humans and monsters must be dynamically stable.

"In her observations, where does the Canine tribe stand? What are the roles of Cuizi and I?"

Dou Ya let go of Yunmu in his arms and picked up the pen to write on the rice paper.

The strategic value of the dog tribe.

The Dog Clan is the overlord of the Western Kingdom and one of the benchmarks of terrestrial monsters.

At the same time, their temperament is closer to that of humans, and they are not as violent and brutal as ordinary monsters.

If we can win them over, we can accelerate the initial integration of the "Anti-Moon Alliance" or the establishment of Gensokyo.

Cui Zi's strategic value.

As the extreme force on the human side, he has the prestige of a leader among the witches.

Her existence can be regarded as the future Hakurei shrine maiden. She is the "natural enemy regulator" deliberately retained by Yakumo Yukari to suppress the excessive expansion of monsters.

Douya suddenly stopped writing.

Little Yunmu, whose demonic power was sealed and who couldn't run away, curled up on his shoulder and looked at him curiously.

"The First Lunar War hasn't started yet!"

With the advantage of foresight as a time traveler, Douya gradually understood the whole process of Yakumo Yukari's actions. After understanding the current situation, he felt relieved.

At least now, Yakumo Yukari has a friendly attitude towards the dog clan and Tsuriko.

"You're telling me Daitengu's bottom line, are you asking me to unite the four nations?"

Douya pondered this.
