My personal opinion on Gensokyo

Seeing the leopard cats quickly leaving the plains, fleeing along the valleys between the mountains, and fleeing deep into the mountains of the western country, and dealing with the monsters around them, Inuyasha also shouted and quickly chased after them.

"Humph!"

　彡俬靈翅栮#弍~（四）巴⒋ Noticing Inuyasha coming after him, Dong Lan, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Leopard Cat Clan, sneered coldly, waved his claws, and an extremely cold wind blew.

"I can't let you succeed!"

The extremely cold wind instantly turned the surface soil into permafrost, the cliffs were covered with ice, and the lush grass was also frozen by ice. As the cold wind blew, Inuyasha, who was chasing after him, had to cover his face with his fire rat fur.

After the cold wind, all the leopard cats that invaded the Western Country disappeared.

"Did the enemy escape?"

At this moment, Sesshomaru, who had completely wiped out the remaining leopard cat monsters, also walked here. Looking at the valley frozen by the ice of Dong Lan, one of the four kings of the leopard cat clan, he said sarcastically and indifferently.

"...As a father's son, you are really useless, Inuyasha."

"What did you say?!"

Hearing Seshomaru's cold sarcasm, Inuyasha immediately became unhappy. He jumped over with his fists clenched and looked extremely angry.

　"You really want to fight me, Seshomaru!"

"Oh, I'm not interested now."

With a disdainful glance at the angry Inugami, Seshomaru turned and left with an indifferent expression.

Seeing Seshomaru leaving, Jaken, who was holding a human-headed staff, hurriedly chased after him while shouting, "Lord Seshomaru~!"

At the same time, in another place in the West.

This is a castle hidden in the clouds. The entire castle is divided into several layers from bottom to top, and each layer is guarded by dog ​​demon soldiers.

The style of this castle is very similar to the castle towers built by human daimyo on earth.

At this moment, on the top floor of this city tower, in front of the solemn hall, an extremely important meeting is taking place.

"It seems that the invasion of the ocelots has been repelled by my beloved son."

Gazing at the image of the battlefield in the air where Seshomaru, Inuyasha and the huge Hundred Demons Night Parade were fighting, Seshomaru's mother smiled faintly, her tone full of pride as she saw a beautiful woman with her long white hair tied into a long ponytail and wearing a pure white shawl and a crescent demon mark in the middle of her forehead. She was the wife of Inuyasha, a noble woman from the western dog demon clan.

"Mr. Yuyuko, what do you say?"

"It seems so, ma'am."

Hearing this, the beautiful lady in kimono sitting opposite the beautiful woman who was Seshomaru's mother, Yuyuko, who was actually a dangerous monster hiding in the depths of darkness and manipulating ordinary humans, showed an unpredictable and dangerous smile.

"The son you bore to Lord Inu no Taisho, Lord Seshomaru, the noble son of the Western Kingdom, is as brave as Lord Inu no Taisho himself was in his time."

"I believe that Lord Seshomaru will follow the same path that Inu no Taisho once did in the future..."

"No... Your Excellency Yuyuko is too kind."

Hearing this, Seshomaru's mother gently covered her face and revealed a soft smile of unknown meaning.

"If Seshomaru can achieve even one-tenth of what his father, Inu no Taisho, has accomplished, I will be satisfied."

After saying this, the noble woman from the dog demon clan turned her gaze to the beautiful girl sitting in the main seat. She was wearing a light white top and a maroon long skirt, with a katana of unusual length tied around her waist. Her light pink long hair was tied into a ponytail with a light yellow hair ornament. She had a cold face. The girl sitting next to the girl was wearing a light white kimono embroidered with aqua blue petals, had knee-length black hair, looked only about fifteen years old, and had a gentle smile on her face.

With a gentle smile, the noble woman from the dog demon clan of the Western Country whispered a sincere request to the beautiful girl with a cold expression who was sitting in the main seat.

"If it is possible, from now on, Your Highness, the Princess, and the Guards, please take good care of this useless son of mine."

"Let's put this matter aside for now."

Upon hearing this, Mian Yue Yiji, a beautiful girl with a pink ponytail and a cold expression, spoke softly.

"Judging from the performance of the Western Monsters this time, the two descendants left by the Inu General Toga-oh can protect the stability of the Western Kingdom."

"I believe that the commander-in-chief will be very pleased after learning about this."

"Your Highness, the praise is truly excessive."

Seshomaru's mother spoke calmly as she bowed respectfully to Watatsuki Yorihime.

"The Western Kingdom is the territory left behind by that child's father. Protecting the stability of the Western Kingdom is also the innate responsibility of my son, Seshomaru."

"Yes, Madam and the Western Dog Demon Clan's determination."

Mian Yue Yiji nodded gently, her beautiful face showing a hint of gentleness.

"I will also report the truth to the commander-in-chief."

"Well then, Your Highness, Guard Your Highness, Madam, it is time for me to take my leave."

After listening to the conversation between Watatsuki Norihime and Seshomaru's mother, the beautiful woman in luxurious clothes, the great monster Yuyuko of Kyoto, stood up, smiled kindly, and bowed to Watatsuki Norihime in the main seat and Konoe Teru beside Watatsuki Norihime.

"I originally came to visit my wife, but I was caught off guard by the former enemies of the Western Dog Demon Clan. Fortunately, the sons of His Excellency the Dog General are as outstanding as His Excellency the Dog General hundreds of years ago."

"I have been away from Kyoto for a long time. It is time to go back."

Having said that, Yuyuko turned her gaze to Konoe Teru, her gentle smile still lingering.

"Your Highness, I will return to Kyoto first. When Your Highness returns to Kyoto, please be sure to come and stay with me."

"of course."

Looking at the fox demon with a gentle smile, Konoe Zhao also smiled softly and nodded slightly.

"I'm going to bother you then."

Upon hearing Konoe Teru's agreement, the terrifying fox demon who hid in the darkness and controlled humans was delighted. After bowing to Mian Yue Yiji again with full courtesy, the fox demon who hid in the depths of darkness flew lightly into the clouds, and its eight huge fox tails surrounded the beautiful woman in luxurious clothes.

Above the clouds, the fox demon, with a treacherous and extremely dangerous mind, took a calm look at the castle hidden deep in the clouds, then transformed into a ray of dark light and flew towards Kyoto Heian-kyo.

From the castle towers hidden in the clouds and the depths of the lush forests on the ground, one monster after another flew up, gathered in the gloomy light transformed by the feathered fox, and flew towards Kyoto Heian-kyo.

These monsters are all part of the One Hundred Demons Night Parade led by Yuyuko.

"Hayuko is much stronger than it was two hundred years ago."

Watching the feathered fox Hyakki Yagyo, filled with dark and evil aura, leave, Konoe Teru whispered a report to Watatsuki Yorihime.

"After several reincarnations, Yuyuko's aura has become even darker and more sinister."

"Nothing to worry about."

After hearing Konoe Teru's report, Yiji just said it lightly.

"If we want to get rid of her, it will be quick."

"...That's also for you, Yorihime-sama."

Hearing Watatsuki Yorihime's indifferent answer, Konoe Teru sighed softly and asked with some curiosity.

"By the way, Lady Yiji, I've been meaning to ask you a few days ago. I heard from Her Highness Fengji that you and Lord Shangyang had a competition in the Cloud Courtyard some time ago. What was the result?"

"...Don't ask unnecessary questions."

Just as Watatsuki Yorihime was talking calmly with Konoe Teru, Seshomaru's mother, a noble woman from the western dog demon clan, looked at the Kyoto One Hundred Demons Night Parade led by Yuyuko, and her smile disappeared completely. She turned sideways and looked at the image reflected in the air.

That was Seshomaru, walking deep in the mountains of the western country with an indifferent expression.

Seshomaru's mother was in an extremely solemn mood.

Among the once powerful enemies of the Western Dog Demon Clan, the Dragon Bone Spirit has not completely died, the Death Ghost has disappeared, the great lord of the Leopard Cat Clan, Okinakata, has not completely died, and the descendants of the great Tangtu monster Flying Demon Moth are still secretly active in this land.

Now, there is a Yuyuko hiding in the darkness, even more powerful and dangerous than two hundred years ago.

Seshomaru, my strong son, you must quickly become strong.

As powerful as your father, Inu Taisho...

Thinking of this, the noble woman from the dog demon clan of the Western Country couldn't help but shift her gaze to Watatsuki Yorihime and Konoe Teru who were talking in low voices.

...Fortunately, the Lord Commander of all the monsters in the world does not harbor any hostility towards the dog monster clan of the Western Country.

Thinking of this, Seshomaru's mother turned sideways and bowed slightly to Yorihime and Teru.

"Your Highness, Kyoto's Guardian, thank you both for saving the Western Dog Demon Clan."

"If you two were not here, Lord Yuyuko of Kyoto would probably lead the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons to immediately attack and destroy our Western Dog Demon Clan."

"Don't worry about it. The princess and I came here at the request of Lord Shang Yang, the supreme commander of all monsters."

Hearing this, Konoe Teru replied softly.

"Although Lord Inu Taisho once rebelled against the Lord Monster Commander, the Lord Commander still recognizes Lord Inu Taisho's achievements in quelling the chaos in the Western Kingdom and ensuring its stability for hundreds of years. He will not embarrass you, the Western Dog Monster Clan."

Maple Village, a remote countryside in the eastern region of Musashi.

Spring is coming to an end. Although it is not the beginning of summer according to the solar terms, the stuffiness of summer can be felt at this time.

"Ha~~~"

Shang Yang yawned loudly, half-opened his eyes, and sat on the wooden steps of the shrine, leaning against the outer wall of the shrine. He looked listless as he flipped through the old books he had collected from the nearby towns and cities.

There is no way around it. This dry and stuffy climate makes it easy for people to fall asleep, not to mention that Shang Yang has hardly slept for several nights this month.

The reason is very simple. Spring is the season when all things come back to life. Not only grass, trees, flowers, animals, insects, etc. come back to life, but many monsters that hibernate also crawl out of their nests.

Inevitably, many monsters have noticed the alluring power of the Four Souls Jade in this Maple Village.

It would be fine if the monsters came to rob in broad daylight, and without Shangyang's help, Kikyo would have used the magic-breaking arrow to teach them how to be monsters. However, the reality is that there are not only stupid monsters who come to attack the Four Souls Jade in broad daylight.

More relatively weak but more meticulous monsters would occasionally take advantage of the night, hoping to take advantage of Kikyo's negligence and sneak into the village to seize the Four Souls Jade.

Of course, the reason why Shang Yang had hardly slept for several days during this period was not because he was woken up by Kikyo to kill monsters.

In Kikyo's view, the monsters who are eyeing the Shikon Jade are her responsibility to protect it.

If it wasn't necessary, Kikyo wouldn't even let Shangyang go with her to other villages to fight monsters.

The reason why Shang Yang basically didn't sleep at night during this period was actually Shang Yang's own fault.

A few days ago, when Inuyasha was still in the village, every night, Inuyasha would find a big tree and sleep on it, or directly go to sleep in the straw pile in the village.

Because of Inuyasha's possessiveness over the Shikon Jewel and his keen sense of smell, whenever a monster sneaked into the village at night, Inuyasha would kill it to vent his anger at not being able to get the Shikon Jewel.

This also indirectly allowed Kikyo and Kaede to rest in peace, and Shangyang could also sleep soundly in the shrine.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Kikyo allowed Inuyasha to continue to roam around the village.

PS1: I wanted to complain when watching the animation. There are too many enemies left by Inu Taisho. (Helpless)

Volume 5: The Miko of the Warring States Period: Chapter 279: The Bone-Eating Well

However, Inuyasha was not in the village these days. He had gone to the western country to help his brother Seshomaru resist the invasion of the Leopard Cat Clan on the territory of the Western Inu General. The monsters living in the mountains and forests near Maple Village also noticed Inuyasha's departure and became excited.

In the past, almost all the monsters who sneaked into Maple Village died under Inuyasha's Soul Scattering Claws. Now that Inuyasha has left, it is a perfect opportunity for the weak monsters to snatch the Shikon Jewel.

Although the spiritual power of the priestess who lives in the village and guards the Four Souls Jade is extremely strong, there is nothing we can do. Let's just fight once.

Countless greedy monsters hiding deep in the mountains and forests were thinking this urgently.

Just like that, due to Inuyasha's departure, many nearby monsters that had ended their hibernation, with the idea of ​​giving it a try, sneaked into the village one after another late at night. Shang Yang, who noticed this situation, simply did not sleep at night these days, and stayed in the village, waiting for the greedy monsters to come to him.

After Shang Yang's attacks for several nights, none of the monsters that sneaked into Maple Village approached the wooden house where Kikyo and Maple lived, and most of the monsters were killed by Shang Yang who teleported in front of them before they even entered the village.

As a result, the monsters living in the nearby mountains and forests also knew that there was not only a human priestess guarding the Four Souls Jade in the village, but also another strange existence that was more powerful than the half-demon who was in the village before. Therefore, in the past two days, the monsters rarely sneaked into Maple Village late at night.

Shang Yang casually flipped through the old book he bought from the market, then put it aside, stretched himself and moved his arms a little.

And it was at this moment that the sudden appearance of evil spirit in the distance made Shang Yang stunned for a moment.

This evil spirit...

At the same moment, Shang Yang suddenly disappeared outside the shrine without a trace.

Deep in the dense forest next to Maple Village.

Feng reached out and picked up a plant from the grass that looked different from the other weeds, and smiled with joy.

"Shaofacao... I remember Sister Kikyo said it can be used to treat external injuries."

Just when Feng was very happy about finding a herb, suddenly, an angry roar sounded from behind Feng.

"Four Soul Jade!!!"

Feng, startled, turned around subconsciously and saw a scary monster with six arms floating in the air. The monster's upper body looked like a human female, but its lower body was an ugly arthropod-like body. It stared fiercely at the human girl in front of it. A hideous and complacent smile appeared on the monster's ugly and ferocious face, and it pounced towards Feng from mid-air!

"Ah! Help!!!"
