Fighting you is like being in jail.

Reimu and Marisa were speechless when they saw Yukari Yakumo running away like that, but it was clear that she was genuinely scared.

"That's all for now, I'm heading back to the shrine."

Finally, Reimu yawned, said something, and took off, flying towards the shrine. The night breeze made her long dress sway.

"Reimu, wait for my Tadashi!"

Marisa quickly chased after her, flying over on her broomstick.

............

In the chat group.

Yukari Yakumo: Wait until tomorrow. As long as I'm free tomorrow, I can go back!

Homura Akemi: Is it resolved?

Leng Chang: The sky thing is solved, but I still don't understand what that thing is or why it appeared in Gensokyo.

Yukari Yakumo: I'm also curious why my peaceful Gensokyo has turned into this.

Madoka Kaname: Maybe it's the system. After all, the harm caused by the system to the world is too great.

Leng Chang: That's true, but it's strange that there are no tasks in the chat group.

Madoka Kaname: Why don't you ask?

Leng Chang: Forget it... I don't want to get scolded.

Black and White Hill: Indeed, the mouths in the chat group are really hard for ordinary people to stand.

Yukari Yakumo: What is that?

Kitahara Iori: It's the chat group itself, right? It's just extremely foul-mouthed.

Yukari Yakumo: ...

Leng Chang: Never mind, I touched it.

...........

The next day, after the sun rose.

Yakumo-ju.

Yukari Yakumo cautiously peeked out from the rippled space, and upon spotting that familiar figure in the kitchen, quietly asked:

"blue? "

"Hmm?" Yakumo Ran turned her head in confusion. "Lady Yukari, what are you doing?"

"Wow! Ran! Do you remember when I came back?!" Yukari Yakumo exclaimed excitedly, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"It was just yesterday? No... wait! Why do I have the same memories for several days in a row?" Yakumo Ran frowned in confusion, her golden fox ears perking up.

"Great! You remembered!" Yakumo Yukari cried out, hugging Yakumo Ran tightly and complaining loudly.

"You know what's happened to me these past few days! It's been so...so terrible! I don't even know what's going on, it's just wonderful!"

She screamed in fear and then recounted what had happened over the past few days. Upon hearing the story, Yakumo Ran's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Such a thing exists! How could this be... What's with that strange machine?"

"I don't know, I need to get it checked out properly too. But before that, Lan! I'm hungry!"

Yukari Yakumo sat on the tatami mat in the living room and shouted expectantly, her voice filled with the anticipation of calling for her mother.

"Yes, yes, I'll go cook right away."

Hearing this, Yakumo Ran shook her head speechlessly and continued to busy herself in the kitchen.

This scene made Yukari Yakumo very happy and content, and she even couldn't help but hum a song.

............

In the chat group.

Madoka Kaname: How is Lao Ba doing?

Yukari Yakumo: It's back! My Gensokyo is back! Ran remembers, and even said she had a few extra days of identical memories.

Madoka Kaname: That's good.

Kitahara Iori: I feel like there's something amiss.

Kazuma Sato: My Gensokyo Hypnotic Diary is over... it hadn't even started yet...

Goto Ichiri: That's not a good idea... How could you say such a perverted thing?

Kazuma Sato: Is he a pervert?

Homura Akemi: What do you think?

Leng Chang: I'm going to take a stroll around Gensokyo.

Yukari Yakumo: Welcome, welcome!

............

Gensokyo, Hakurei Shrine.

Leng Chang appeared quietly and immediately saw Ling Meng standing in the open space, holding a broom and lost in thought. For a fleeting moment, a hint of seriousness flashed in her eyes.

The next second she noticed Leng Chang's presence, looking at him expressionlessly.

"What's going on again?"

The voice was cold and somewhat ethereal, and the eyes that were fixed on Leng Chang were filled with doubt, waiting for an answer.

Leng Chang walked up a few steps and came to the donation box again to put money in.

To everyone's surprise, Reimu muttered speechlessly, "The money you gave me is completely useless... I'd better not give you any more money."

“That makes sense!” Leng Chang stopped stuffing money into Ling Meng’s hands and looked back at her, unsure of what to do.

"By the way, how did you get to know that guy, Yukari?" Reimu asked curiously, with a hint of gossip.

"You won't believe it, but she came running over screaming and shouting 'My Gensokyo!' Then she yelled for help. When I went over to check, good heavens, she was hopeless."

"Huh?" Reimu tilted her head in confusion, her eyes filled with question marks.

"It's probably because she ran off to the muscular version of Gensokyo, and then got beaten up by the muscular versions of Blue and Orange."

..........

Reimu's eye twitched wildly, which seemed absurd enough. Finally, she exclaimed, "This is truly a disaster..."

"Anyway, I find it quite amusing." Leng Chang grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth, and stood up proudly, giving a thumbs-up.

"Sigh... I really envy that guy having so much fun. I want to go see him too."

"I feel like you'd want to slap yourself a couple of times."

"That's true, but... that's a happy kind of trouble."

?

Leng Chang paused, blinked in confusion, and sensed that something was amiss.

Reimu pouted and immediately told him to leave, "If there's nothing else, please leave quickly. Don't disturb my rest."

"Fine……"

Leng Chang didn't say much and walked outside without lingering.

Just then, a black crow perched on a treetop, its dark eyes reflecting the departing figure of Leng Chang.

After watching Reijo leave, Reimu turned and walked towards the shrine.

Just as she turned around, Reimu's movements in the reflection of the pond in the yard slowed down by 0.1 seconds.

At the same time, Leng Chang frowned as he passed by the water.

"What's wrong?"

I carefully checked the surroundings, but found nothing.

...........

the next day.

In the chat group.

Yukari Yakumo: Woohoo?! My first day back in my beloved Gensokyo, today I'm going to enjoy everything!

Leng Chang: ...

Deer eye round fragrance:

Kitahara Iori:

Hiratsuka Shizuka: Poor Eighth Prince...

Hachiman: This feels hopeless.

Kazuma Sato: How did I get caught again?! Oh no! My Gensokyo Hypnotic Diary isn't over yet!

Yukari Yakumo: What the hell are you talking about? What happened?

Celia: Did I save a lonely soul before I could even have a relationship?

Bucciarati: Not entirely, at least everyone's memories of Gensokyo were restored yesterday, weren't they?

Yukari Yakumo: No? What are you talking about? Why do I feel like I've missed out on so much?

Homura Akemi: Go check the chat history yourself.

Madoka Kaname: So what's going on now? Was that big guy not the real thing?

Leng Chang: Even if it's not the original body, it must be something related to it, otherwise everyone wouldn't have regained their memories.

Homura Akemi: So what should we do now?

Yukari Yakumo: Holy crap! How could this happen?! My Gensokyo! How did I get caught in this trap so many times?!

Hachiman: I want to complain, but I'll refrain from doing so since you look so pitiful.

Yukari Yakumo: No! Are there any clues left?

Leng Chang: Even if you have clues, it's still very difficult for you to handle this. You've fallen for this trap several times already.

Yukari Yakumo: What can I do? I'm desperate too!

Madoka Kaname: I'll lend you my power so you won't be affected for the time being.

Leng Chang: I'll do it.

Madoka Kaname: Hmm.

............

Gensokyo, Yakumo Residence.

Leng Chang, speechless, sat on the tatami mat, looking at Yakumo Yukari, who was unaffected by the markings of the Law of Cycles. He was somewhat at a loss for words.

"What do we do now?"

Having already sensed the gravity of the current situation, Yakumo Yukari narrowed her eyes and asked seriously.

"What else can we do? After thinking about the current situation carefully, we can confirm that everyone in Gensokyo will be affected, so the only ones who won't be affected are people from other worlds."

"Let's think back to the very beginning..."

Leng Chang said calmly, his eyes becoming even sharper.

Upon hearing this, Yukari Yakumo paused, then her pupils contracted: "Grandpa Yakumo?"

"blue! "

She immediately shouted towards the kitchen, and then heard Yakumo Ran's voice.

"You've arrived. What brings you here, Lord Zi?"

Yakumo Ran stepped out, and the power of the Law of Cycles ensured that Yakumo Yukari remained unaffected and could be seen.

"Did the old man leave anything behind? Or say anything?"

"Grandpa?" Yakumo Ran looked at him in surprise, then lowered her head and said in recollection, "Grandpa... let me think, Grandpa only came for one day, I remember he was writing something the whole time."
