My personal opinion on Gensokyo

Inuyasha left quickly not only because he felt there was nothing more to say, but also because a figure dressed in a red and white shrine maiden costume had arrived at the torii gate in front of the shrine.

Kikyo also glanced at Inuyasha's departing figure and asked softly with a calm expression.

“…left?”

"Ah, he's gone. It seems he's going to help his brother fight."

Seeing Inuyasha's figure completely disappear, Shangyang shrugged his shoulders, turned his gaze to Kikyo, and said casually.

"By the way, Inuyasha-kun also had something for me to tell you. He hasn't been trying to get the Shikon Jewel these days. However, he also said that he will be back soon, and he won't let go of the Shikon Jewel."

"Is it……"

After whispering these two words, Kikyo turned around nonchalantly and walked into the shrine. Seeing Kikyo's actions, Shang Yang shrugged again, turned his head and looked up at the blue sky, his eyes slightly squinted because of the strong sunlight.

What a nice day...

Let’s not talk about the situation in Maple Village for now. At the same time, something is happening in the West Country, far away from Maple Village.

In the west, deep in the mountains.

"Lord Seshomaru, I have ascertained the situation."

Between the mountains, on the flat inland plain, the monster Xiejian, holding a human-headed staff, was reporting to a young man with long silver-white hair, who was wearing a long-sleeved kimono with a pure white background, a pure white shawl on his shoulders, and an ordinary samurai sword tied around his waist, with some uneasiness.

"The leopard cat tribe will move out en masse tonight, marching straight into the heart of the Western Kingdom. Leading the leopard cat tribe in this invasion are four individuals known as the Four Heavenly Kings of Leopard Cats..."

"The Four Heavenly Kings of Ocelots...huh..."

After repeating these words softly, Seshomaru spoke calmly with an expressionless face.

"There are guys you haven't heard of."

"Ah, yes. It is said that these four are the newly rising figures of the Ocelot Clan since their chief lord, Oyakata-sama, was defeated by your father."

Hearing what Seshomaru said, Jaken wiped the sweat from his forehead in panic and flattered him in a servile manner.

"Such an unknown person, Lord Seshomaru would naturally not have heard of him."

"Hmph, I, Seshomaru, naturally won't care too much about the guys defeated by my father, but..."

With a cold snort, Seshomaru turned sideways with an expressionless face and looked towards the west.

That direction was exactly the direction of the palace where Seshomaru's mother lived.

"...The one we need to be concerned about is Kyoto's great youkai, the fox that challenged the youkai commander-in-chief hundreds of years ago alongside my father."

"I don't know what she's up to..."

Seeing Seshomaru's indifferent expression, Jaken, who was holding the human head staff, broke out in a cold sweat.

It can be seen that Seshomaru is in a very bad mood now. Of course, it is not because of fear, but because of the extremely feminine and secretive Yuyuko that makes Seshomaru very unhappy.

"If it's Yugyo Kitsune, the son of Inu Taisho, you don't have to worry about it."

A sudden, cold voice sounded not far away.

Volume 5: Miko of the Warring States Period: Chapter 272 Watatsuki Yorihime and Konoe Teru

Following this cold voice, a girl wearing a light white top and a maroon long skirt, with a strangely long katana tied around her waist, and her light pink hair tied into a ponytail with a light yellow headdress, appeared not far in front of Seshomaru and Jaken. Another girl wearing a pure white kimono embroidered with aqua blue petals, with knee-length black hair, looked only about fifteen years old, and had a gentle smile on her face.

The one who spoke was a pretty girl with long light pink hair tied into a ponytail and a cool face.

Seeing these two strange women who suddenly appeared, Xie Jian, who was holding the human head stick, subconsciously pointed the stick at the two strange girls, raised his eyebrows, and questioned them angrily.

"Who is it?! Don't you know? The one before you is Lord Seshomaru, renowned throughout the Western Kingdoms! Why don't you retreat immediately..."

"Xie Jian, back off."

Before Xie Jian could finish his rebuke triumphantly, Seshomaru coldly interrupted him. Under Seshomaru's cold gaze, Xie Jian, who was sweating profusely, shut up obediently and retreated behind Seshomaru.

Then, Sesshomaru turned his cold gaze to the two mysterious girls who had appeared at some point in time. He was silent for a moment, and then, without changing his expression, he spoke lightly.

"I wonder what important matter has Princess Mianyue and the Kyoto Guardian brought here together?"

"W-what?! Princess Mian-Mian Yue and the Guardian of Kyoto?!"

When he suddenly heard Lord Seshomaru addressing these two strange girls, Jaken, who was holding the human head staff, was stunned.

"Kill, Lord Seshomaru! Could it be that they are the legendary supreme commander of all the monsters in the world..."

What Jaken said was correct. Just as Seshomaru called them, the people who came were Watatsuki Norihime and Konoe Teru. When hearing Seshomaru's words, Watatsuki Norihime also had a blank expression and spoke in a cold tone.

"Just like I said earlier, regarding Yuyuko, the son of Inu Taisho, you don't have to worry about her actions."

Having said this, Yiji paused for a moment, then spoke softly in a matter-of-fact tone.

"If Yuyuko makes any small move, I will chop her down."

"……oh?"

After hearing what Watatsuki Yorihime said, Seshomaru's expression did not change at all, and he still asked indifferently.

"Your Highness Mianyue, are you supporting my actions?"

"Let's take it as it is. However, the invading ocelots will still need to be dealt with by you western monsters."

Hearing this, Mian Yue Yiji said lightly without caring.

"My purpose in coming here is simply to prevent Yuyuko from finding an excuse to usurp the western lands guarded by your father, Inu Taisho, after the conflict between you and your group."

"Unlike most youkai, the great youkai Yuyuko appears to be a human, hiding in the dark depths of Kyoto and manipulating the human court. If she were allowed to occupy the Western Kingdom, it might cause some trouble for the ordinary humans living there."

"Furthermore, a great monster occupying a large area of ​​the western country and Kyoto is not a good thing for the monsters living in this land."

After listening to Watatsuki Yorihime's statement, Sesshomaru's expression remained unchanged, and he just asked calmly.

"...Is this also what the Monster Commander-sama intended?"

In response to this question, Mian Yue Yiji's beautiful and cold face seemed to reveal a hint of speechlessness, and she just shrugged slightly.

"……probably."

"Is that so... Thank you both for your assistance."

After a brief silence, Seshomaru coldly expressed his gratitude without any gratitude at all, and then turned and left without hesitation.

"Let's go, Xiejian."

"Ah? Yes! Lord Seshomaru."

When he heard Seshomaru calling him, Jaken, who was originally in a daze, came back to his senses. He answered with a cold sweat and followed with the human head staff in his arms.

"...Sesshomaru, the noble young master of the Western Kingdom, is truly just as Lord Shangyang said."

Watching Seshomaru leave without hesitation, Konoe Teru, who was standing next to Watatsuki Yorihime, sighed softly and asked casually with his pretty face turned to the side.

"Princess?"

"nothing."

Watching Seshomaru leave, Watatsuki Yorihime didn't care and comforted her subordinates in a low voice.

"do not worry about it."

Having said that, Mianyue Yiji sighed softly, turned slightly, shifted her gaze to Konoe Teru, and asked in a soft and unhurried voice in a gentle tone that was different from her cold tone just now.

"But, Zhao, I heard from Shang Yang a few days ago that there are some unstable factors in Kyoto?"

"Yes, Lady Yiji, this was my mistake."

Upon hearing this, Konoe Teru bowed slightly and admitted it frankly.

"I was actually taken advantage of by those malicious individuals in Kyoto. Although the temptation of the Four Souls Jade was indeed too great, I will take the time to rectify the situation after returning to Kyoto."

“…No, there’s no need to waste time fixing it.”

After hearing Konoe Teru's report, Watatsuki Yorihime thought for a moment and spoke softly.

"I've also heard about the demonic wolf clan that has been pretending to be humans for hundreds of years."

"The monster clan, originally demon wolves, have given up running across the mountains and plains. Even if we ignore them, one day they will decline and become a mess."

"I will obey your orders."

Hearing Watatsuki Yorihime's comments, the girl in a pure white kimono embroidered with aqua blue petals smiled softly and bowed gently.

"Since Lady Yorihime has said so, I will not bother with the Hisakawa clan in Kyoto."

"...Your decision is truly decisive."

Konoe Teru's remarks made Watatsuki Yorihime stunned for a moment, and then she shook her head helplessly, her tone indifferent.

"I'm just making a suggestion. If Shang Yang blames you, I can't do anything about it. After all, I don't have much status in the family."

"That's okay, if that's what Lady Yiji thinks."

Hearing Watatsuki Norihime's concern for him, Konoe Teru maintained a gentle smile and chuckled softly.

"Lord Shang Yang must have thought so too."

"Is that so... Then please pray that Shang Yang and I have the same ideas this time."

Hearing this, Mian Yue Yiji spoke with a hint of helplessness, and then glared at the girl who was smiling happily with some dissatisfaction.

"But are you speaking well of Shang Yang?"

"That's not the case. I was just informing Master Yiji on behalf of Master Shangyang."

The girl in the pure white kimono chuckled.

"Over the past two hundred years, Master Yiji has devoted a great deal of thought to this matter since Master Shangyang entrusted you with the task of inspecting the various gods and monsters."

"Lord Shangyang was a little worried about this. Originally, this job was just for Lord Shangyang to help Lady Yiji get familiar with life on Earth. But he didn't expect Lady Yiji to be so dedicated and conscientious."

Volume 5: Miko of the Warring States Period: Chapter 273: Seshomaru and Inuyasha

"...Shang Yang clearly gave it to me himself."

Hearing what Konoe Teru said with a chuckle, Watatsuki Yorihime retorted a little awkwardly, but did not say anything else.

Mian Yue Yiji understood Shang Yang's intention from the moment she took on this job. Shang Yang actually wanted her to let go of the depression and obsession she had during the lunar war.

During the Lunar War, due to Shang Yang's design, Watatsuki Yoshihime and her sister Watatsuki Toyohime were forced to take the monster cherry. After the Lunar War, they were accused of the most serious crime since the establishment of the Moon City.

Not only were Mianzuki Yohime and her sister Mianzuki Toyohime given to Shangyang as cheap gifts by the Moon God Yue Yejian in the peace agreement after the end of the Lunar War, but they were also forced to be imprisoned in an underground palace deep in the moon for more than 500 years as a bargaining chip in exchange for a truce.

Although thanks to Shang Yang's design, Mian Yue Yiji and her sister Mian Yue Fengji escaped the future of being "props" forever, it is impossible to say that Mian Yue Yiji has no resentment or awkwardness towards Shang Yang.

Among the Mianyue sisters, the elder sister Mianyue Fengji is relatively okay. She is a quiet and easy-going person. Even though, because of Shang Yang's design, Mianyue Fengji was relieved by Yue Yejian from the important task of handling all the internal affairs of the Moon City, and was also imprisoned in the underground palace for more than 500 years, Mianyue Fengji actually enjoyed the peaceful life of more than 500 years.

However, Mian Yue Yiji is different. She is a serious person and does not accept all this as open-mindedly as her sister. When facing Shang Yang and loving them, she always feels awkward and uncomfortable.

What's more, she is still Shang Yang's concubine, which makes Her Royal Highness the Moon Princess, who has a serious and somewhat cold personality, feel even more uncomfortable.

However, Shang Yang noticed this, so he handed the task of inspecting the monsters in this land to Mian Yue Yiji.

With Iki's outstanding talents, this job is not difficult at all. At the same time, this job can also allow Iki Mianyue to slowly adapt to life on the earth.

Moreover, the intelligent and outstanding Princess of the Moon also understood the extent of Shang Yang's indulgence towards her. Even if Watatsuki Yorihime wanted to establish a powerful One Hundred Demons Night Parade force to rule the monsters living on this land, Shang Yang would probably let her do as she pleased.

Of course, Miatsuki Yoshiki herself had no plans in this regard.

In fact, Shang Yang's approach did make Mian Yue Yiji feel much better.

For two hundred years, Watatsuki Yorihime, who has a serious and slightly aloof personality, no longer feels awkward or uncomfortable in the hot spring resort.

Although they still exchange a few words and "wrestle" with Kaguya who always deliberately teases her second sister, this is also a sign that the gap between Watatsuki Norihime and her younger sister Horaisan Kaguya is getting smaller and smaller.

On the other side, deep in the forest, Seshomaru was where he had left.

Standing on the cliff, Sesshomaru couldn't help but frown at the faint smell coming from afar. He looked up at the sky that was covered by a strange dark yellow aura.

The scent of the ocelots, is it already this close...

"Lord Sesshomaru!"

At the same time, with a loud shout, on the plain on the side of the mountains that the leopard cat clan must pass through to invade the heartland of the western country, the monster Langyakan and a group of various monsters who had been waiting here for a long time to guard the mountains and forests, all came to meet Seshomaru who was walking.

"Lord Seshomaru, we are all willing to lend a hand."

The jubilant monster Langyakan, who was leading the group, expressed his wishes to Seshomaru on behalf of the monsters behind him.

The other monsters were also talking and shouting excitedly.
