"Just as you think, Yakumo Yukari. Hakurei Reimu has broken the seal and remembered the past."
"How is that possible? That was a seal I used all my strength to create. Even Reimu, a Hakurei shrine maiden, couldn't break it."
Yakumo Yukari was puzzled. She was the one who sealed Reimu's memory with her own hands, so she naturally knew how strong the seal she had cast was. Although Reimu was very strong relying on the power of the great barrier, it did not mean that she could break or even discover her own seal.
"Have you forgotten? With the upgrade of Gensokyo, the Great Barrier has also been upgraded. Now, it serves as the boundary wall of the entire world and protects Gensokyo as always."
"Then the power of the Hakurei Miko will naturally rise with the tide. Your seal would have long been washed away by this surging force."
"Is Reimu okay?"
"Don't worry about me. Just like the sovereignty of the world in your hands, I have certainly taken all necessary measures. There won't be any problems."
Li Xuan said angrily that he had naturally considered this matter long ago. Otherwise, how could Yakumo Yukari have obtained the sovereignty of the world in his hands? With her power, she would have been assimilated by the world long ago.
"Yakumo Yukari, you old woman, give my mother back to me!"
Faced with Reimu Hakurei's yelling and calling her an old woman to her face, Yakumo Yukari rarely got angry, but was a little dazed.
How long had it been since Reimu's mother, adoptive mother, and good friend last heard her say this? Ah, since she had sealed Reimu's memories, she hadn't heard it since.
That woman was a very strange person. As a Hakurei shrine maiden, she became friends with me, which was rare.
You should know that apart from the first generation of shrine maidens who originally established the Hakurei Great Barrier and passed on the dream of natural birth, only the previous generation of Hakurei shrine maidens became her friends.
Being a Hakurei shrine maiden has never been a good profession. It is neither human nor monster. It is just a human pillar that depends on the Hakurei Great Barrier.
In this situation, how could the exploited Hakurei shrine maiden have any good attitude towards Yakumo Yukari?
However, Reimu's mother, that strange woman, did become her good friend. Even Yakumo Yukari's friendship with the previous generation of Hakurei shrine maiden was even deeper than that of the first generation.
After all, the era in which the first generation lived was an era of extremely serious conflict between humans and demons. Although Yakumo Yukari and the first generation Hakurei shrine maiden could be called friends, that was all. The conflict between humans and demons made it impossible for them to completely let down their guard, and naturally they could not become true friends.
At that time, they each had their own calculations. If Yakumo Yukari wanted to build Gensokyo, she needed the first generation's dream and innate power. In addition to wanting to help her friends, the first generation also had the idea of building Gensokyo to absorb those big monsters, thereby evolving peacefully and letting the monster era decline naturally.
Therefore, the friendship between Yakumo Yukari and the first generation of Hakurei shrine maidens is not as pure as her friendship with the previous generation of Hakurei shrine maidens.
When the previous generation died, if Yakumo Yukari had not considered that it was the will of the previous generation Hakurei shrine maiden, she would have killed Rumia long ago.
In order to protect the young Reimu who lost the most precious thing from harm, Yakumo Yukari chose to erase her memory. Perhaps this is the best. At least she can still see her lovely smile, even if this smile is so heartbreaking.
"I will return it to you, the previous Hakurei Miko."
"How is this possible? Mom has already..."
Hakurei Reimu couldn't help but feel sad when she said this. She actually knew that her mother's death could not be blamed on Yakumo Yukari. This matter had nothing to do with her, and her anger was actually unreasonable.
But what could Reimu do? On one side was her adoptive mother, and on the other was her best friend. The harsh reality forced her to choose between the two, leaving Hakurei Reimu unable to make a choice. Even now, it was still the same, and she could only vent her anger on Yakumo Yukari.
"Reimu, everything I said is true. I promise you that the predecessor will definitely come back."
Yakumo Yukari embraced the silently crying Reimu, showing a rare soft side of herself.
Chapter 657: The Appearance of the Evil Spirit Dream
"really?"
Although Reimu Hakurei knew it was impossible, she still looked at Yakumo Yukari with a glimmer of fantasy. Although she had never gotten along well with Yakumo Yukari, to be honest, Yakumo Yukari was her elder. With the existence of the previous generation of Hakurei shrine maiden, her relationship with Yakumo Yukari was actually not bad, especially after she recovered her memory. Reimu Hakurei understood that Yakumo Yukari would never harm her.
"Of course. Lord Li Xuan, please lend me a hand."
Yakumo Yukari respectfully bowed to Li Xuan, who was watching the show from the side, and asked for his help. Perhaps Reimu was too sad after her memories were unlocked to have forgotten Li Xuan's existence. With his help, it was not impossible to save the miko of the past generations.
"You, you! You're really good at calculating, but this time, you can't escape."
As a reward for her last move, Yakumo Yukari sent Yakumo Ran to her side, which facilitated the relationship between Li Xuan and Kaguya Houraisan, and it can be said that they are now even.
However, Li Xuan's moves are not so cheap, and it is impossible for him to let Yakumo Yukari replace her with someone else every time.
"I didn't intend to escape. I just had some things to deal with beforehand."
Yakumo Yukari smiled sweetly. If it were Li Xuan, she would not object to such a thing. However, she had more than one regret that she wanted to redeem, so naturally she had to be more careful.
Now that you have made up your mind, you naturally have to resolve all your regrets.
"If that's the case, then Yakumo Yukari, you've miscalculated."
Hearing Li Xuan's words, Yakumo Yukari was initially bewildered, but then her expression changed drastically. She knew best what regrets and remorse she had in the past, but Li Xuan's words meant that he must have missed something, and if not in the past, then now. Was there something else wrong with his friend?
"Hakurei Reimu, you should have sensed something~."
Yakumo Yukari was a little flustered and confused at this time. In her perception, Reimu was full of energy and extremely powerful, so there should be no problem. However, Li Xuan could not have shot without a purpose, and it was obvious that she had overlooked something.
"Huh? Really? I do feel a little uneasy, but I don't know what's wrong."
Reimu Hakurei was a little confused. She was too sad and angry before and didn't notice it. But after Li Xuan said that, she did feel something was wrong and felt uneasy.
"Master Li Xuan, please stop keeping me in suspense and just speak frankly."
Yakumo Yukari was a little anxious. Reimu Hakurei was the son of an old friend. If something went wrong, how would she explain to the previous shrine maiden who was about to return?
"In that case, let me be frank! Yakumo Yukari, you are too arrogant."
Yakumo Yukari was a little confused and didn't know what Li Xuan was talking about for a moment, but then she reacted. Could it be that the problems with Reimu were caused by her?
At this time, Li Xuan confirmed her guess word by word.
"The power of the realm you possess is indeed a power very close to the root. However, the innate power of dreams passed down from generation to generation by the Hakurei shrine maidens is also extremely magical, not to mention the existence of the Hakurei Great Barrier."
"Perhaps you think that your seal on Hakurei Reimu should be unbreakable, but have you forgotten? The power manifested by Hakurei Reimu's innate power of dreams is freedom, the ability to be independent of the world and not be interfered with by anything else."
"Logically, as Hakurei Reimu grew stronger, your seal should have lost its effectiveness long ago. However, the reason it still exists is because the power of your realm, Hakurei Reimu's innate dream power, and the power of the great barrier have combined to produce an extremely wonderful transformation."
Li Xuan paused here. There are too many versions of Gensokyo. What he didn't expect was that she actually existed. Not bad, not bad.
"That's the Yin-Yang division!"
"The separation of yin and yang, could it be?"
As a gap monster possessing the power of realm, Yakumo Yukari understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words almost instantly.
"Indeed, the memories you sealed have gathered themselves together to form a Reimu. She is filled with all sorts of dark emotions, including anger and sadness, hatred and resentment, murderous intent and despair, and yet she has been sealed away. You should understand the consequences of this, right? Yakumo Yukari."
"Here, please help me."
Yakumo Yukari certainly understood that if she was treated like this and the seal was broken, it would probably cause a big trouble, especially when she felt guilty and could not take action against Reimu. She had no choice but to entrust the matter to Li Xuan. Anyway, she had too many debts and she was already lying down.
"No need to be so hypocritical, Yakumo Yukari."
Hakurei Reimu, who had been very quiet since a while ago, raised her head. Her ruby-like eyes were dyed scarlet by murderous intent and anger. It was obvious that the person who appeared in front of Li Xuan and Yakumo Yukari was already another Reimu.
After Li Xuan pointed out her existence, Huo Lingmeng no longer thought of hiding. Relying on the dark emotions accumulated over the years, even Lingmeng herself was temporarily dominated by her and gained control of her body.
"I will handle my mother's affairs myself. I will pay the price myself, that should be ok, Master Li Xuan."
Although Huo Lingmeng is a little irritable, she is not stupid. When facing Li Xuan, she is naturally very respectful.
However, Huo Lingmeng's actions made Lingmeng a little anxious.
"This is my body. You're going too far."
"Hmph! It's good that your body is good, but it's also my body. I have the right to decide what to do. Besides, we can't rely entirely on that Yakumo Yukari."
After saying these words, Huo Lingmeng no longer paid attention to the guy who was shouting, but turned to look at Li Xuan, hoping that he would agree to his request.
The reason why Huo Lingmeng did not want to accept Yakumo Yukari's favor was, on the one hand, because she had sealed herself for so many years, and on the other hand, because this matter really had nothing to do with her.
It was this complex desire that made Huo Lingmeng make such a choice.
Of course, there's a deeper reason. She's searching for a sense of belonging. Just like Black Jeanne before her, born without expectations and without a life of her own, Huo Ling Meng is truly lost. She doesn't know why she was born into this world, where her future will lead, or what she'll do. Her life is completely blank.
Chapter 658: The Quarrel between Reimu and Fureimu
Born with negative emotions, all cognition and memories come from Reimu. Whether they are family members or friends, they all belong to the real Reimu.
Huo Lingmeng really didn't know whether they would acknowledge her, so she chose to escape.
If Li Xuan agreed, then she would have repaid their kindness in allowing her to be born, and saved her adoptive mother, the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, and found a place for herself in life.
This is what Huo Lingmeng thought. Since she was born, she wanted to find the meaning of her existence and find someone who could accept her.
In her opinion, Li Xuan was a good choice. The probability of him accepting her was very high, and he was also a good person.
"...I'd better call you Reimu! You don't have to do that. Gensokyo has room for you now, and the previous Hakurei shrine maiden and Rumia wouldn't care about that."
Yakumo Yukari was silent for a long while with a complicated expression, but she finally spoke. She certainly knew what Huo Lingmeng was thinking right now.
But now it's different! If it were the previous Gensokyo, even if she couldn't bear it, Yakumo Yukari wouldn't tolerate the existence of Fureimu because it concerns the safety and stability of the Hakurei Great Barrier. She would at least keep her under surveillance.
Now, not to mention her, even Reimu couldn't affect the great barrier that had now evolved into a boundary wall. So naturally, the existence of Huo Reimu could be allowed.
As for interpersonal relationships, it's true that both her current self and the previous Hakurei shrine maidens and Rumia were influenced by Reimu when they first treated her. But as time went by, wouldn't family ties and friendships be established? Human relationships are formed little by little! They don't just happen overnight!
The final result was nothing more than that the previous Hakurei shrine maiden had an extra daughter, Reimu had an extra sister, and Rumia had an extra friend.
Yakumo Yukari has lived for so long and sees this very clearly. Now Huo Lingmeng is just subconsciously escaping.
"Although nominally I owe my birth to your seal, emotionally, it was you who sealed me for so many years. So, we are even now."
"As for Grandma's problem, Reimu and I should have paid the price. And even if Yakumo Yukari is willing, what about Rumia's problem? You won't help her, right?"
"It's true that there's a huge darkness hidden behind the Hakurei shrine maiden, but even Grandma's sacrifice wouldn't allow Rumia to continue to exist. That girl probably intends to spend the rest of her life with Reimu!"
Compared to Reimu, Reimu can better perceive the essence of Rumia in the memory. As a monster of darkness, she will always need the darkness in people's hearts as long as she exists. No matter how huge the darkness in Amama's body is, there will be a day when it will be consumed.
But that day may never come. Rumia's plan should be to die together with Reimu when she dies. For Rumia, she should have died a long time ago. Her current life is based on the sacrifice of the previous Hakurei shrine maiden. When Reimu, the only person she cares about, dies, then it will be meaningless for her to live alone.
Yakumo Yukari remained silent in response to Fureimu's question. "Rumia? Who cares about her? If it weren't for the will of the previous Hakurei shrine maiden, Rumia would have been killed by her long ago. How could she be alive now?" Of course, no one would care about her.
After Reimu's memory was sealed, she also made good friends such as Marisa and Suika. Reimu didn't know what her old friend Rumia was thinking.
Therefore, it is impossible for Huo Lingmeng to just leave Rumia alone. After all, for her who is sealed, only her adoptive mother Ama and her friend Rumia are the most important. She can't just leave either of them alone. This is the underlying logic behind Huo Lingmeng's actions.
"So that's what you think? I mean, you're really underestimating my other self! I, Reimu, am not the type to ignore my friends!"
At some point, Reimu regained control of her body, and her eyes changed from scarlet to ruby.
"You actually broke free from my control?"
Huo Lingmeng was a little surprised that she was suppressed without any ability to fight back.
"Haha! I told you that you underestimated me. You were born so late and have been sealed all this time. If I can still be suppressed by you, then I haven't grown up in vain, you naughty sister!"
Hakurei Reimu felt a little funny. Did her other self really think that she could suppress her by her own strength? What a joke! If it weren't for the guilt and the desire to see what Hakurei Reimu would do, then she would also want to seize control of her body. Did she think that I, Hakurei Reimu, had eaten rice for nothing all these years?
"I'll naturally take care of Rumia's affairs, so you little sister should just go and have fun on your own!"
Reimu Hakurei's worries were completely unnecessary. How could she, Reimu Hakurei, ignore her friends?
And after all, that was Reimu's friend, so naturally she should help him. It was better for Reimu to find her own bond on her own!
Reimu Hakurei meant well, but what she said touched Reimu Hakurei's confused and sensitive heart, and the two of them started arguing about who should help Rumia.
"Aren't you going to stop the fight?"
Li Xuan stood aside and cracked melon seeds with great interest, but something was wrong when Yakumo Yukari, the person involved, also grabbed a handful of melon seeds.
"Oh, they've made up their minds, so why should I be the bad guy? Besides, even though Reimu has a few friends, she's also very lonely. It's nice to have a sister suddenly appear."
If it was the previous Hakurei shrine maiden, Yakumo Yukari would certainly be willing to help Reimu. However, as for Rumia, she didn't have any good feelings towards this guy. A friend of a friend may not necessarily become a friend, not to mention that the previous Hakurei shrine maiden eventually died at the hands of Rumia.
Neither Reimu nor Kaorumu would give up on Rumia, so she didn't waste her breath and just let them go.
Just like that, while Li Xuan and Yakumo Yukari were eating the melon, Hakurei Reimu's eyes were wavering between scarlet and ruby. It was obvious that the fight was very fierce and she couldn't stop for a while.
The topic also ranged from who was responsible for the original Rumia to the previous Hakurei shrine maiden, and even started arguing about who was the older sister and who was the younger sister.
Logically speaking, it should be undisputed that Reimu is the older sister. After all, Reimu was born later and is weaker. However, when emotions get heated, there's no time for discussion. It's simply two little girls arguing.
Chapter 659: Reimu's Victory
"Haha! You naughty sister, I've subdued you now! If a tiger doesn't show its might, you'll think I'm a sick cat! Are you convinced now? Who is the older sister and who is the younger sister?"
Reimu said this with her head held high and chest puffed out, clearly delighted at having triumphed over her other self.
"Damn it! If you weren't born a few years earlier than me, I might not be able to beat you."
Huo Lingmeng was also a little depressed, but his words revealed a vitality and energy that had never been seen before. It was obvious that a bond had gradually begun to be established.
"Haha! Isn't that natural? As the older sister, of course she's the one born earlier."
Reimu certainly noticed this and was somewhat pleased. That was right! Her sister shouldn't be so lost and depressed.
