My personal opinion on Gensokyo

Hearing Miss Gu Mingdi Jue mention Platycodon with an expressionless face, Shang Yang also recalled the cold and frosty face of the witch when she was resurrected. He could only sigh and rub his hair helplessly.

"Of course I won't avoid her... Speaking of which, she should also..."

In the hot spring villa, while Shang Yang was thinking, at the same time, in the remote mountains of Musashi in the east country, there was Maple Village.

Miss Kagome, who is looking for the fragments of the Shikon Jewel, whose full name is Miss Higurashi Kagome, is an ordinary third-year junior high school student living in modern Tokyo five hundred years later. She has a grandfather, a mother, a father, a younger brother, and a fat cat named Gnat at home.

If she had followed an ordinary life path, Miss Higurashi Kagome believed that she would have studied normally, been admitted to an ordinary high school, and then been admitted to an ordinary university, or after graduating from high school, she would have inherited her family's struggling shrine.

Of course, now, Miss Kagome Higurashi knows that the ordinary life of an ordinary middle school student has nothing to do with her anymore.

At the very least, it will have nothing to do with me for a very long time in the future...

Sitting on the light green grass on the hillside, Miss Kagome Higurashi looked at the tall trees in the distance, lost in thought.

This is the Warring States Period five hundred years before modern society. It was a terrible and chaotic era with famine and war everywhere. At the same time, it was also a terrible era with countless terrifying monsters roaming around.

Looking at the tall trees in the distance, the pretty girl with long black hair that was a little fluffy murmured.

"...Grandpa Meika, how long will it take for Inuyasha and I to collect all the fragments of the Shikon Jewel?"

"I don't know about this either..."

It clearly looked like the girl was asking and answering her own questions aimlessly, but as the girl finished her words, a voice that sounded like an old man but surprisingly energetic suddenly came from the bushes beside her and answered uncertainly.

"However, based on the speed at which you, Kagome, and Master Inuyasha are collecting the fragments of the Shikon Jewel, even if we determine the locations of all the Shikon Jewel fragments, it will probably take several years to complete the collection."

As the voice suddenly rang out, a tiny flea jumped out from the grass and landed on the girl's instep.

That old yet energetic voice did indeed come from this tiny flea.

Seeing Grandpa Myoga jumping out of the grass, Kagome Higurashi naturally stretched out her hand so that Grandpa Myoga, the flea monster who had always followed Inuyasha and was a loyal old subordinate of Inuyasha, could jump into her palm.

"...Yes, even though we defeated the Yokai Thunder Beast Brothers not long ago, we were only able to recover two or three tiny fragments of the Four Souls Jade."

While sighing, Kagome Higurashi couldn't help but recall the dangerous battle against the Thunder Beast Monster brothers Hiten Manten two days ago. Being able to defeat the two Thunder Beast Monster brothers, Kagome Higurashi and Inuyasha, as well as the fox monster Shippo who had recently joined Kagome and Inuyasha in searching for the fragments of the Shikon Jewel, was really due to a lot of luck.

If they had been careless at that time, both he and Inuyasha would have been turned into ashes by the terrible lightning of the Thunder Beast monster brothers.

"Alas... The Warring States Period was truly terrifying..."

Miss Kagome Higurashi sighed deeply, but although she was helpless, she subconsciously grasped the small bottle tied around her waist. The small bottle engraved with a special sealing barrier contained all the fragments of the Shikon Jewel that she and Inuyasha had recently recovered.

At the same time, just when the young and beautiful Miss Kagome Higurashi was feeling anxious about the possible dangerous life in the future, on the mountain road leading to Maple Village, a young "monk" with short black hair, who was not formally ordained, and was leaning on a Zen staff, was rushing towards Maple Village.

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 357: The Strange Mage

Deep in the forests of Musashi in the east, there is a rugged mountain road stretching through the mountains.

On the rugged mountain road, the sunlight was blocked by the shadows of the trees on both sides of the road. On this mountain path among the rolling mountains, a young monk with short black hair, a coarse monk's robe and an ordinary cassock was walking leisurely on this rugged mountain road among the rolling mountains.

"Ah... I actually met such a generous lord. I really made some money this time."

The young monk weighed the purse stuffed full in his hand and sighed with satisfaction.

"I just used a magic trick to exorcise a small demon with some intelligence, and you gave me so much money. I am really lucky."

As he sighed, the young monk touched his chin with a look of longing on his face.

"However, it's a pity that I didn't get to see the young lady of the lord's family this time. Sigh, she was so closely protected by the lord, I'm sure she must have been quite a beautiful lady... It's such a pity that I didn't get to ask that young lady to bear a child for this poor monk."

After shaking his head and expressing regret for a while, the young monk seemed to remember something, sighed helplessly, and casually hid the purse in his arms. Then, he took out a piece of unknown fragment with a faint glow from his sleeve, with a serious expression and helpless emotion.

"But I never thought I'd find this fragment after wandering aimlessly to Musashi Province..."

The unknown fragment with a faint glow in the palm of the young monk's hand was exactly the broken fragment of the Four Souls Jade.

This was something the young wizard, who made a living by exorcising monsters, had obtained a few days ago when he was exorcising monsters for a lord in this area. For the young wizard, this fragment of the Four Souls Jade represented something extremely important and a matter of life and death to him and his ancestors.

"...Naraku, the dark youkai, is an evil youkai who appears in pursuit of the legendary Shikon Jewel. Therefore, when the legendary Shikon Jewel reappears in the human world, Naraku will inevitably appear again..."

The young wizard repeated the words left by his grandfather to himself, shook his head helplessly, and muttered to himself again.

"Ancestor... Although fifty years have passed, the Four Souls Jade has indeed reappeared in this world. Then, the monster Naraku that our clan has been pursuing for fifty years should also appear again."

After muttering to himself for a while, the young wizard collected the fragments of the Four Souls Jade and continued walking forward along the mountain path.

The village not far ahead is rumored to be the place where the Four Souls Jade first appeared. Perhaps we can find some clues about Naraku there.

In the remote mountains of Musashi in the East, there is Maple Village.

On the light green grass, a girl with long, somewhat fluffy black hair was still looking at the glass bottle with a few fragments of the Four Souls Jade in her palm in a daze, a little distracted.

What exactly is the Four Souls Jade?... How can this dangerous battle over its fragments end?

"Kagome! Kagome! Help me~!"

At this moment, Kagome Higurashi's thoughts, which had wandered a little too far, were interrupted by a scream from behind her. Before the girl could react, a little child with a big fluffy tail behind him jumped up behind the girl, slipped into Kagome Higurashi's arms, and hugged her, trembling.

"...Huh? Um, what's wrong? Shippo?"

Slightly surprised, Kagome subconsciously comforted the little fox demon who was trembling with fear in her arms, and asked in confusion.

Ever since Inuyasha and Kagome narrowly avoided getting rid of the thunder monster brothers Toten and Manten who had obtained the fragments of the Shikon Jewel a few days ago, and also avenged the fox demon Shippo whose father was killed by the thunder monster brothers, the lonely little fox demon Shippo has made up his mind to work with Higurashi Kagome and Inuyasha to retrieve the fragments of the Shikon Jewel.

However, before Kagome could get anything out of the trembling Shippo, another exasperated voice shouted behind her.

"Don't run, you little brat! I'm going to beat you up today!"

Following this exasperated voice, Inuyasha rushed over angrily and suddenly jumped up beside Kagome Higurashi, and pounced on the little fox demon hiding in Kagome Higurashi's arms in a rage.

"……sit down."

…Bang!!!

As the girl who was comforting the little fox demon said these two words calmly, the furious Inuyasha, who was about to pounce on her, fell face first to the ground with a "bang"...

"...Ah, it's really true."

After glancing at Inuyasha, who was lying at the bottom of the pit foaming at the mouth and twitching after smashing a deep pit in the flat grass, Kagome stood up and put the little fox demon down from her arms. She put her snow-white hands on her hips and mercilessly taught Inuyasha, who was lying in the deep pit in the grass with stars in his eyes, a lesson.

"Inuyasha! Why are you always arguing with little Shippo?! Ever since Shippo came to the village a while ago, you've been fighting every day!"

"hateful……"

Hearing Kagome's serious lecture, Inuyasha, who was lying in the depression of the light green grass, struggled to get up, crossed his hands, placed them in the wide sleeves of the fire rat fur, and snorted disdainfully.

"Tsk, I don't have time to bother with this brat! It was this brat who provoked me!"

"What did you say?!"

Hearing Inuyasha's disdainful sneer, the little fox demon who was gloating on the side suddenly jumped three feet high in displeasure and retorted loudly and angrily.

"Don't call me a brat! Big stupid dog!"

"What?! Who's the big dumb dog, you stinky brat!"

Hearing Shippo's angry rebuttal, Inuyasha became angry again. He rolled up his sleeves and walked over to beat up the little fox demon.

"Looks like I have to give you a good beating!!!"

"Oh, seriously, both of you stop it!"

Before Inuyasha could take action, Kagome, somewhat helplessly, stopped Inuyasha and turned sideways to seriously persuade Shippo, who was also angry.

"Little Shippo, in the next period of time, we have to work together to find and collect the fragments of the Shikon Jewel. Shippo also needs to get along well with Inuyasha as soon as possible."

Hearing Kagome's persuasion, the little fox demon with a big tail snorted angrily, crossed his hands, and turned his face away unhappily.

"Humph, who wants to get along with this guy? He's rude and always likes to scare us!"

"Tsk! I don't intend to get along with a little brat like you!"

After giving the angry little fox demon an equally unhappy reply, Inuyasha put his hands in his wide sleeves again and turned around to greet him.

"Hey! Kagome! We should get going."

“…Hey, let’s go?”

Suddenly hearing Inuyasha say this, Kagome couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Where are you going?"

"Didn't you say you were looking for the fragments of the Four Souls Jade?"

Inuyasha unhappily reminded the confused Miss Kagome Higurashi, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone.

"If you just stay in the village, the fragments of the Four Souls Jade won't come to you on their own."

“…That’s true, though.”

Hearing Inuyasha's matter-of-fact words, Kagome was stunned for a moment. Although she agreed with this statement, she also felt a little embarrassed.

"But we don't know which monster got the fragment of the Four Souls Jade..."

After expressing her opinion, although she was still involuntarily confused about "how to end the battle over the Four Souls Jewel", Miss Higurashi Kagome also breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and cheered up.

"...Forget it. Like Inuyasha said, the fragments of the Shikon Jewel won't come to us on their own. We'll have to find them ourselves."

"oh oh……"

Seeing Kagome smiling and cheering up as if she had figured something out, Inuyasha scratched the back of his head in confusion.

"Then... let's go."

"We want to go together!"

Hearing that Inuyasha and Kagome decided to continue their search for the fragments of the Shikon Jewel, the little fox demon Shippo, who had been turning his face away, turned around and jumped onto Kagome's shoulder, shouting angrily.

"Let's go find the fragments of the Four Souls Jade together!"

Volume 6: Thoughts Across Time and Space: Chapter 358: The Injured Girl

The East Country, deep in the mountains.

The daytime sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves onto the light green grass, turning into spots of light. The breeze from the deep mountains blows, and the branches and leaves of the trees sway slightly.

In the deep mountains where few people go, the dense forest is as peaceful and quiet as usual.

However, if you observe carefully, you will find that there is something strange hidden in the peace of this deep mountain forest.

It's so quiet.

It was so quiet that it seemed as if no living creature lived here.

There were no birds singing, no insects chirping, no wild animals wandering about. It seemed as if the very life of the forest had been swallowed up by this strange silence, leaving not a trace of life.

These are abnormalities that can be observed carefully, and if you breathe carefully, you can smell the strong smell of blood beneath the scent of grass and trees deep in the mountains and forests.

The pungent smell of blood permeated the forest. In the depths of the forest, which was shrouded in strange silence, if a human woodcutter came to the mountains and saw the scene in the depths of the forest, he would surely faint from excessive fear.

In the heart of this deep forest, a large, heart-pounding patch of dark blood almost completely stained the grass between the trees. The branches and trunks of the leafy trees were also covered with large patches of dark blood.

However, it is not just this large amount of dark blood that permeates the heart of the deep forest.

On the grass between the trees, which was stained with dark red blood, countless pieces of flesh, broken limbs, and debris were scattered around.

Torn limbs, shapeless pieces of flesh, torn bodies, and countless disgusting remains were scattered on the grass deep in the mountains and forests.

The countless scattered debris of various shapes all exude a strong demonic aura, and based on this, it can be accurately judged that these countless broken limbs and fragmented bodies are the large number of remains left here after many monsters were killed.

After such a large number of monsters were killed, the poisonous evil spirits and miasma emanating from their broken remains had already filled the deep mountain forests, scaring away all the birds and beasts that originally lived in the forests, creating a dead silence that permeated the forests without a trace of life.

However, in this deep mountain forest filled with poisonous miasma, in the center area where there should be no living creatures, there are two strange "people" staying here.

One of the "people" was wearing light white fur peeled off from a baboon monster, completely hiding his appearance underneath the light white fur. The empty eye sockets of the skull mask covering his face were filled with pitch-black darkness.

The other "person" was different. "She" did not use fur or anything like that to cover her appearance.

She wore a light white shirt, shorts that revealed her ivory-smooth white calves, and soft dark green hair that brushed past her waist. The beautiful "girl" looked no different from a human girl.

The young girl with long dark green hair had an expressionless face and an indifferent gaze as she looked at the "person" standing opposite her, who was covered in the fur of a baboon monster.

On the abdomen of the expressionless beautiful girl, there is a terrible scar that is shocking just by looking at it.

It can be seen that the girl's abdominal injury seems to be a penetrating wound caused by some sharp claws. If an ordinary human girl suffered such a terrible injury, she would probably die on the spot.

However, at this moment, standing in the depths of the forest where countless monsters were slaughtered, the young girl with a cold expression simply raised her fair little hand, pressed the wound that was still oozing dark red blood, and looked coldly at the "person" who was confronting her, hidden under the fur of the big monster.

"After eating these disgusting monsters, your demonic power has become even stronger, Naraku."

Countless remains of monsters of various shapes were scattered around, deep in the forest filled with poisonous miasma. A young girl, holding the serious wound on her lower abdomen, spoke with a cold expression, without a trace of extra emotion in her tone.

"Furthermore, after devouring the poisonous miasma monster from who knows where, your demonic power has become even more toxic."
